An interesting site, some 30 odd km north of the Capital,Tirana. Located on a hillside giving spectacular views of the countryside. Mostly in ruin, but there are some new builds, one which is popular with locals for wedding photos. There are two small museums on site, and that's about it.

A tour that will take you to one of the most interesting destinations of Balkans Ohrid town, This town is North Macedonia's most seductive destination. It sits on the edge of serene Lake Ohrid, with an atmospheric old quarter that cascades down steep streets, dotted with beautiful churches and topped by the bones of a medieval castle. Famous for its lake and architecture. At the same time you will visit Lin, a small peninsula softly joins the shores of Lake Ohrid. It was once called “Lake of Light” perhaps because the light of both the sun and the moon wholly illuminate its surface year-round. Indeed, this lake’s reflections are legendary! Hundreds of locals reside in this small but beautiful peninsula. As you descend the road to get there, you will notice the beautiful red roofs of its characteristic small homes.

It should be noted that the thermal springs are not hot springs. I was surprised when I felt the cool water. Also, the algae has made footing extremely slippery so be careful.

A very good trip (we were also lucky there were only two of us!). The driver was a very helpful, friendly, and a knowledgeable man. We saw some great places and learned a lot about Albania. The itinerary said the trip is about 6-7h long, but we did it in about 5. I do recommend it.
