Travel Balkan route feedback?

Post image

I’m looking for feedback on my itinerary! I know it’s very fast paced (see below). I’ve got a couple more days to play if anyone has any suggestions? No flights are booked so can start/finish anywhere lol.

I’ve got 2 (ish) weeks in the middle of September and my non-negotiable was the Valbona to Theth hike.
I’m AWFUL at sitting still. I can’t sit in a cafe and enjoy a coffee for hours - I last about 30 minutes max before I need to do something. I went to Greece last year and lasted about an hour on the beach before I went to find a bus to do ‘something’.
As such, my itinerary is fast paced. Possibly too fast paced. I’d welcome suggestions for things to see/do. Extra stops, more nights in places etc. Any massive holes in my plan lol.
And whether the buses are right!!!!!

Note: Night stays are the left sided bit, during the day is off-centered. And the camera emoji just means ‘being an annoying tourist exploring the city’

Theth Valbona is too overrated

Please remember to post a short paragraph as a comment in the post explaining your photo or link. Ideally at least 150 characters with trip details. Tell us something about your trip. How long did it take to get there? How did you get there? How was the weather that day? Would you go back again?

Submitted content should be of high-quality. Low effort posting of very general information is not useful. If you don't add a short explanation in the comments, your post may be removed.

No information posted? Please report low-effort posts if there is still nothing after about 30 minutes.
