Day 1: Arrival in Tirana

Arrival, car rental. Transfer to Shkodra (1.5-2 hours).

Lake Shkodra - a large lake with mountains on the horizon. Shooting models on the shore, with boats or reeds as a background. Classic spot near Rozafa Castle: panorama of the lake plus the castle as a dramatic element.

Evening: atmospheric shots in the old town or on the lakeshore at sunset.

Overnight: Shkodra.

Day 2: Albanian Alps - Theth

Morning: transfer to Theth (2-3 hours, scenic road with photo stops).

Theth Church (Kisha e Thethit) and traditional stone houses (kulla) against the backdrop of the Accursed Mountains. Shooting at dawn/sunset.

Grunas Waterfall / canyon viewpoint.

Blue Eye of Theth, then a short walk: crystal blue water in the forest as a unique backdrop for shooting.

Many viewpoints along the valley, stop anywhere for staged shots.

Overnight: guesthouse in Theth (authentic atmosphere, mountain views).

Day 3: Valbona Valley

Morning: short stops in Valbona Valley, panoramas of the valley and river from the roads and viewpoints. Mountains and greenery, a nice contrast for the models.

Transfer to the south. Optional: scenic route through Komani Lake (ferry, like a mini-cruise with views of the mountains and turquoise water; shooting from the deck or on the shore).

Stops along the way: Bovilla Lake or easily accessible canyons.

Overnight: Berat or the Vlora area (transition to the coast).

Day 4: Osumi Canyon and the Berat area

Osumi Canyon, one of the best for models. Accessible by car: viewpoints from roads and short walks to bridges (Osumi Canyon Bridge, suspension bridge, Zaberzan footbridge). Steep cliffs, river below, a dramatic backdrop for shooting. There are platforms overlooking the canyon.

Short stop in Berat ("city of a thousand windows"): the Osum river plus hills as an additional element.

Transfer to the coast via Llogara.

Overnight: Vlora or Llogara National Park (sea view).

Day 5-6: Albanian Riviera - Llogara, Himare, Dhermi

These days are the richest in locations for shooting models (beaches, cliffs, mountains plus sea).

Llogara National Park: panoramic viewpoints (stops on the pass), pine trees, the Ceraunian mountains and the Ionian Sea. Ideal for dramatic shots: models against the background of clouds and sea.

Coastal road SH8 with numerous stop-points.

Himare / Dhermi area: Dhermi Beach and Livadhi Beach (long beaches with clear water, white sand and mountains in the background); Jale Beach, Gjipe Beach (dramatic cliffs, bays); Himare Castle viewpoint (short walk, panorama of the sea and coast).

Plenty of time for shooting: golden hour on the beaches, blue hour with views of the bays.

Overnight: Himare or Dhermi (apartments/hotels with sea view).

Day 7: Ksamil, Syri i Kalter (Blue Eye) and departure

Morning: Ksamil, the "Albanian Maldives" - small islands, white sand, clear turquoise water. Shooting from the shore or boat: models on islands, in the water, with islands as a natural frame.

Syri i Kalter (Blue Eye near Saranda): a karst spring with an intense blue color, deep water surrounded by greenery, a magical background for shooting (best during the day for transparency).

Optional: Butrint, a lagoon and lake with natural surroundings (reflections, birds) for more peaceful shots.

Evening: transfer to Tirana (3-4 hours). Overnight: Tirana (if late flight).
