Theth
Tucked deep in the Albanian Alps, Theth is a mountain village that feels like a secret whispered by nature. Surrounded by jagged peaks and lush meadows, it’s a place where time slows down and tradition lingers in the crisp alpine air. The village itself is a scattering of stone houses, a charming church, and winding paths that lead to waterfalls, canyons, and the famous Blue Eye spring—a surreal turquoise pool hidden in the forest. Theth is also the starting or ending point of the legendary Valbonë Pass hike, a breathtaking trail that weaves through the Accursed Mountains. Along the way, you’ll pass shepherds tending their flocks, wildflowers carpeting the hillsides, and panoramic views that make every step worth it. Despite its remote feel, Theth is increasingly accessible thanks to improved roads. Yet it still retains its raw, untouched beauty. Whether you're sipping mountain tea with locals or stargazing under a velvet sky, Theth offers a rare kind of peace—one that stays with you long after you leave.
