💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~15 hours of daylight in June — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- This reviewed summer road journey reaches Theth over the high Tërthore Pass. The paved road, every overnight and the chosen walking route still require an exact-date weather and access check; the plan does not promise the Valbona Pass crossing.
- Light day: day 5 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
