Ancient Villages, Sotira Waterfall, and Wine Tasting
Start from Berat early in the morning.
Meet your professional local driver for pick-up from the destination and prepare for an unforgettable scenic drive from Berat to Roshnik.
Take a 10-minute break in Roshnik. This village is famous for its history and is known as the origin of the Köprülü family (Turkish: Köprülü ailesi), a noble family of Albanian origin from the Ottoman Empire.
This is not your last stop in Roshnik - you will return in the late afternoon for wine degustation and dinner.
From Roshnik to Dardha, travel for about 1 hour and 30 minutes by road, or possibly more depending on trail conditions.
During the drive, enjoy views of the surrounding wilderness of the national park.
Stop in Dardha, a 700-year-old village rich in tradition and history. Only five families live here, as the others migrated during communist times. This isolated land is a hidden treasure. The locals are lovely and may invite guests for a cup of coffee. Feel their warmth and discover a unique way of living that is hard to forget.
Next, go on a 3-hour trek to reach one of Albania's most beautiful waterfalls, called Sotira Waterfall.
It is an easy trek and hike to reach the final destination. People do not usually feel tired because it is always fresh here, and there is so much to see, including different kinds of trees, lakes, rivers, and mountains.
Enjoy lunchtime at Sotira Waterfall, with a little time to explore the area, freshen up in the cold, clean waters, hike around, and indulge in photography.
Return to the car for the drive back to Roshnik.
Upon arrival, go for wine degustation in Roshnik at a rustic winery.
Dinner will not be touristic food, but real Albanian cuisine.
End of tour.
