The hike to Bovilla Balcony was absolutely worth it! A bit hot mid-day, so bring water and a hat.
Perfect if you want a scenic and easy day in nature. Not much challenge but very rewarding!
Bovilla is breathtaking! Would give 5 stars if the picnic area was a bit cleaner.
The trail was easy, and the view on top was incredible. The drive felt a little long, but overall great.
Ideal break from the city. Wish we had just a little more time for photos at the top.
We left Tirana a bit late but the rest of the day was smooth and scenic. Bovilla is gorgeous!
Simple, scenic and satisfying. Just prepare for limited shade along the trail
The Bovilla Balcony was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. A must-do in Albania!
Only an hour away and you feel completely disconnected from noise and stress. Loved it!
Not too hard, but still gives you that ‘summit’ feeling. The lake below is unreal.
