Albania

Lezhe

Thousands of years of history come together in the city where Skanderbeg united the country’s princes against the Ottomans.

About

Dating back to at least the 8th century BC, every major empire to hold power in the region had an interest in the strategically located town. Interestingly, while under ancient Illyrian and Macedonian control the town maintained a large degree of autonomy, and minted its own coins. Through the Middle Ages, it changed hands many times, eventually coming under Venetian control in 1386. Because it was under the Venetian control, Skanderbeg decided it would be a neutral place for the convention of Albanian, Serbian, Dalmatian and other lords to organizing their common defence against the Turks. Skanderbeg’s tomb is now one of the town’s main attractions, where visitors can learn about the Albanian national hero’s life. The other is Lezhe Castle, which has architectural elements from the city’s former Illyrian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman rulers.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
