crystal clear river water... this is what we dont have here... 6:40 OMG!!! this view is just sooooo picturesque .. (minus the people 😁 ) 12:21 another picturesque view!!! 12:51 that tower, looks like a kid's drawing of a house.. 😅 14:18 🤣 your description is spot on!!! 🤣 15:12 😲 now... that is a talent!!! someone, hit that gold buzzer!! argh.. it's already 9:30pm, i have to switch off all the lights.. will continue watching tomorrow..
I'm glad you guys went to Theth. Very nice. The river in Theth, and the river from the blue eye merge and form the Shala river, which flows south to Komani lake.
Wow the Blue Eye is so incredibly out-of-this-world beautiful. Very interesting history on medieval justice.Cant help but think they actually knew what they were doing 400 yrs ago.But that’s just me lol Didn’t know Steve is easily spooked haha.
Blood Feuds were a practice in several other parts of Southern Europe, most prominently in Sicily and Calabria. Some argue that it was carried out in those 2 particular places by Albanian communities of nobles and soldiers who emigrated there after the death of Skenderbeg to escape Ottoman retaliation 500+ years ago. These communities are called Arbereshe who still reside in those parts of Italy and still speak a variant of medieval Albanian language.
Each time I watch yr Albanian mountain view vlog, I felt like being transported to a scene in Heidi 's story book..lovely blue eye n crystal clear water...
Amazing hike to that spectacular and incredible Blue Eye....wow, wow, woooooooow it's super duper beautiful....love that crystal clear water !!! Interesting tour to that historical site, The lock-in-tower. As always, Steve's explanation is very precise and interesting. Oh....the girls who asked for chocolate/ biscuits are not there....so sad. But you guys found a new friend, a lovely doggie. Yummilious food for dinner 👍👍😋😋 Good video and it's fun to watch. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Do it Tirana international airport Kukës international zayed AirPorts Wiz air Al Italia Lufthansa British airwaves Euro wings Air Albania Albawings And many many other travel airplane airlines are possible even from Albania to ukrahine !
What a place to wake up in the morning. Open your eyes and say it was a nice dream but no, it's natural beautiful Albanian nature. You 2 are incredibly people. My favourite trip video makers
How interesting the story about that cool tower!!! That was so funny how that hat suddenly landed on your head all of a sudden! And that music was interesting too!
I've not made a tune out of a leaf but a whistle, yes! I guess I need 5 years to master it 😜 Incredible Albania! Wanna dive in the blue eye too but maybe with a wet suit on so I won't be freezing like Steve!
It’s so great to see people really enjoying the beautiful nature my country has to offer. Thank you for visiting and shedding light on my country, I speak for Albanians when I say we appreciate it
Wow really super stunning guys 👍 I've never seen such a beautiful waterfalls and the water is crystal clear amazing 👏🏻 the food looks delicious as usual and I'm still drooling here 😅 aww...too bad the girls didn't turn-up , hope they'll come back and play at the field again 😃 wow the story of the building really makes me chill , listening to Steve could give me goosebump esp. like this kind of killings and revenge 😢 anyway good story thanks Steve & Ivana 🥰
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
• Amazing and stunning scenery! • Even under the blood feud law, people were still killing others… hmmmph 🙄 • As usual good story telling, Steve • Food makes me happy too, Ivana Thanks for such beautiful experience ❤️
Incredibly amazing place with it's beautiful nature pure water and the most important thing peace .I'm glance to you guys bcs of you ,I get a chance to see this amazing places having different culture or food 😍😍
yes Albanian has many words same like arabic, for example the brush in arabic is forshat, in albanian is furcha, the chestnut is kastana i arabic, in albanian is gashtanja, orphan is jetim in albanian also and so many other words.
Theth was so raw and primitive 20 years ago. All houses were made of stone( traditional Albanian style), but some European Organisation helped these villagers with grants to turn their houses in Guest houses as there were no accommodation in the village. It was really hard at the beginning. Highlanders were feeling ashamed to take money from travellers ( Albanian traditions tell you to invite every traveller or guests for free), but they were taught that this is a business and that's what they had to do. So, now all these modern buildings spruced up everywhere. Can't believe how much Theth has changed!
Albanian blood feud is the same as the medieval german law called SIPPENHAFT. This law was a common legal among germanic peoples, including Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians *Wikipedia
Yes and even sometimes people get paid with gold amount of weight or smth like that ! In albanian SIPPENHAFT is called KANUN Albanians say also Kërtolla (körtollö) that means kartofeln or patatoes ! Hugs Germany from Albania 👋🏻
Hey, how's it going. I was in Albanian 2018. Beautiful country, people and weather. My girlfriend and I want to go back. Whats the current mood there now can you tell me please. What's the covid restrictions like?
I don't know how long you want to stay in Albania but before you went dont forget to visit Pogradec and Korça. In Pogradec you can swim in Ohri lake and you can visit the Drilon park. In Korça you should visit the Pazar of Korça and Voskopoj and why not to test the traditional Bier with the same name (Korça)and traditional food from this place. ✌🏻
THAT IS CALLED KANUNI OF LAK DUGAGJINI WAS CODIFIED IN THE 15TH CENTERYMEMBER OF THE ( ALBANIAN NOBILITY,FROM THE DUKAGJINI FANILY CONTEMPORARYOF ( SKANDERBEG ) DUKAGJINI IS KNOWN FOR THE KANUNI I LEKE DUKAGJINIT,A CODE OF LOW INSTITUTED AMONG THE TRIBES OF NORTHERN ALBANIA.

This sounds a little like Islamic Law. You can either pay a sum of money to the deceased’s family or the deceased’s family could forgive you, which is a preferred action by God.
Well, it must have also been in the Christian Books of God. After all, we all just have one God, who sent all these prophets. We believe in all of them. It’s mankind that has chosen what suits them, and what to discard. What a shame! There’s a lot of beauty in this place you’re in, all round. Scenic natural beauty, spotlessly clean, the food scrumptious, the people straight from Heaven. What more can one want? I’d recommend this for honeymooners, or anyone who desires to be ‘away from the maddening crowd’. You made a good choice!
We miss Albania so much! So beautiful!!!
It is so beautiful there. It so reminds me of Switzerland
Spectacular!!!!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
My mom is a TOP COMMENTER!!! wait, commentor?
I’m actually not sure about this
@@JetLagWarriors well...you could just say "my mom's the best"...period...LOL. love you both 💓
crystal clear river water... this is what we dont have here...
6:40 OMG!!! this view is just sooooo picturesque .. (minus the people 😁 )
12:21 another picturesque view!!!
12:51 that tower, looks like a kid's drawing of a house.. 😅
14:18 🤣 your description is spot on!!! 🤣
15:12 😲 now... that is a talent!!! someone, hit that gold buzzer!!
argh.. it's already 9:30pm, i have to switch off all the lights.. will continue watching tomorrow..
Hit the gold buzzer LOL!!!
@@JetLagWarriors 🤭
Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for showing d hidden gem in d Albanian Alps.
I live in the South but one day I am going to THETH. My favourite place in the North. I love that place so much.
If you go up north, don’t miss Komani Lake!! It’s a really special place. Our video from there comes out Thursday!!
I'm glad you guys went to Theth. Very nice. The river in Theth, and the river from the blue eye merge and form the Shala river, which flows south to Komani lake.

FANTASTIC HIKING ADVENTURES TO THE BLUE EYE
Hi!
U should visit the ancient city Apolonia and bylisi 👍🇦🇱
this is a very nice video
Thank you
Wooo lovly vedio
These buildings are like fortresses for families. They were used for many purposes, such as wars and conflicts.
Nice job👍
Such a beautiful place!
Guys you need to get some merchandise with: What could be better than this?
A mug maybe!
really beautiful
Awesome!
For some reason youtube stopped showing me your vodeos in recommended but it was fun catching up to the Albanian journey.
amazing video thank you
Ju falenderojm qè vizituat Thethin , Lumin e Shales dhe Shqipèrin 🙏🙏🙏
Albania ⭐❤🦅
The Arabic word for orange is Burtuqal... Portocalli... Portugal...
yes Albanian has many words same like arabic, for example the brush in arabic is forshat, in albanian is furcha, the chestnut is kastana i arabic, in albanian is gashtanja, orphan is jetim in albanian also and so many other words.
Portokall did the Albanians say for the orange color !
Looks amazing and very good video 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Thanks !! 😊
Great video 👍👌 greetings 🙋🏻♂️
The stone houses were giving me Shimshal vibes.
Yes!!!!! Oh Shimshal is such a special place😊
Theth was so raw and primitive 20 years ago. All houses were made of stone( traditional Albanian style), but some European Organisation helped these villagers with grants to turn their houses in Guest houses as there were no accommodation in the village.
It was really hard at the beginning. Highlanders were feeling ashamed to take money from travellers ( Albanian traditions tell you to invite every traveller or guests for free), but they were taught that this is a business and that's what they had to do. So, now all these modern buildings spruced up everywhere. Can't believe how much Theth has changed!
Nice! By the way, how many hours of hiking you did in Theth / Blue eye? Thanks
It took us about 3 hours in, and 2 hours to get out. Athough if we had a 4x4 vehicle, we could’ve driven more than half the way!
Guys from the other side of blue eye there is an amazing waterfall. Don't miss that
Albanian blood feud is the same as the medieval german law called SIPPENHAFT. This law was a common legal among germanic peoples, including Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians *Wikipedia
Hey, great info. Thanks for this!!
Yes and even sometimes people get paid with gold amount of weight or smth like that !
In albanian SIPPENHAFT is called KANUN
Albanians say also Kërtolla (körtollö) that means kartofeln or patatoes !
Hugs Germany from Albania 👋🏻
Thank you for visiting Albania
You guys should have visit the other waterfall, that is breathtaking as well, and it's a lot higher
Ah, we heard about it afterwards, darn! Would've loved to see it
Hey, how's it going. I was in Albanian 2018. Beautiful country, people and weather.
My girlfriend and I want to go back. Whats the current mood there now can you tell me please.
What's the covid restrictions like?
No COVID restrictions for us. No restrictions on entry, no masks required nothing. Felt amazing actually
Don't worry for nothing. Everyone can come .no corona test .here's fast nothing about corona. 5 cases a day maybe. You are wellcome
what do you use for navigation? what do you suggest/tips as guided tour is a bit pricy. thank you

And a fourth in Kelcyre.

I don't know how long you want to stay in Albania but before you went dont forget to visit Pogradec and Korça. In Pogradec you can swim in Ohri lake and you can visit the Drilon park.

Agree 100%
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Love right back atcha
Any tips on car rental
Check Albarent!! They were great for us, 25 Euros a day for a Skoda Flavia
I like that kanoon system . Of sorting murderers it's great 👍..
If you want to try Albanian food go to Mrizi Zanave restaurant Lezhe 👍
too bad the water is so cold
The water comes from the melting snow of the mountains. No wonder is cold.
17:30 so thats the tower of murderers? 😱
Yeah, pretty much. It’s seems fairly wild now but they had a similar thing in Germany we’ve learned through the comments here. Wow
🤣 no murderers there I think. Blood feud among families was sorted there 🤨
malaysia miss u
First
Albania is like Hidden Diamond.looking paradise like kashmir and switzerland.
Ivana not keen to take a dip?
Visit Kosovo(Peja)
@Miami Heat me provu via ferraten me provu zip line edhe Rugoven,Radavcin burimin e drinit, e shume te tjera.
It still a by canon revenge if somebody kills somebody in your family
This sounds a little like Islamic Law. You can either pay a sum of money to the deceased’s family or the deceased’s family could forgive you, which is a preferred action by God.
Nothing to do with islam. This law was written by a catholic called Lek(Alexander) Dukagjini. The germans had the same law called SIPPENHAFT.
Well, it must have also been in the Christian Books of God. After all, we all just have one God, who sent all these prophets. We believe in all of them. It’s mankind that has chosen what suits them, and what to discard. What a shame!
