Lake Koman is a reservoir on the Drin River in northern Albania. It is surrounded by dense forested hills, vertical slopes, deep gorges, and a narrow valley, completely taken up by the river. Besides the Drin, it is fed by the Shala and Valbona Rivers. The lake stretches in an area of 34 km2 (13 sq mi), its width being 400 m (0.25 mi). The narrowest gorge, which is surrounded by vertical canyon walls, is more than 50 m (0.031 mi) wide. The reservoir was constructed between 1979 and 1988 by the Koman Hydroelectric Power Station near the village of Koman with a height of 115 m (377 ft).

Here is what 3 days in Albania look like when the planner builds them - arriving at noon on the first day and flying home at noon on the last. Stops are grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, and the same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.



The route assumes the first day starts at noon, after you land, and the last ends at noon, before your flight. It also assumes a car: the places are spread across a wide area. It is an example: with your dates the planner builds a route around your landing and your flight home, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
