It is perfect for travelers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy nature.
With fewer tourists and lower prices, this tiny mountain village could be a great alternative to Switzerland. This is reported by the Daily Express.
Located in the Shkodër region of northern Albania, Tetë is one of Europe’s most hidden secrets.
It is noted that this picturesque village offers stunning views of the Albanian Alps, natural landscapes, and forests. As part of the Tetë National Park, the village is surrounded by greenery, forests, and untouched landscapes. With a population of just over 300 people, it offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of more well-known European tourist destinations.
“If you crave peace, adventure and beautiful scenery, Teti in Albania is a must-see destination. Tourists are warmly welcomed by locals who have lived in the area for centuries, preserving their way of life among the stunning nature,” the article says.
Visitors who want to immerse themselves in Albanian culture can stay with the Teti families, in guesthouses, and in restored houses near the national park.
It is important to note that the village is still quite remote and inaccessible during the winter months. It is an ideal destination for travelers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the beauty of nature.
The park covers more than 26 square kilometers and is home to the Tetis River, rocky mountains, crystal-clear fountains, green panoramas, and a valley located 900 meters above sea level.
It is noted that one of the main attractions of the village of Tetë is the hiking trail to Grunas Waterfall, located in the heart of the Albanian Alps and starting at the western foot of Mount Boshi. The 25-meter waterfall allows visitors to enjoy breathtaking views of the Albanian mountains and also leads to the Blue Eye of Tetë.
The 17-kilometer Blue Eye of Teti hiking trail connects to the village of Nderlise. Just 7 kilometers from the center of Teti village, you’ll find a breathtaking sight of turquoise and emerald waters amidst limestone cliffs. The article recommends:
“Those seeking a more peaceful outdoor experience are encouraged to dine in the village of Nderlis, which offers views of natural pools and mountains.”
It is interesting that due to its remote location, there are no ATMs in Teti, and many cafes and supermarkets only accept cash, so visitors should bring as much money as possible, as prices in cafes and supermarkets can be high.
