Why go
Lezhë: The League & Skanderbeg's Tomb
Roman Lissus. League of Lezhë on 2 March 1444. Skanderbeg died and was buried here on 17 January 1468. A focused history day from Tirana.
Lezhë was Roman Lissus. It is where Skanderbeg bound the Albanian princes into the League of Lezhë on 2 March 1444.
It is also where he died and is buried, on 17 January 1468. The memorial and the ruined cathedral around the tomb are the centre of the visit.

Questions
Before you reserve
- Do I have to hike?
- No. Every stop on this route is reached by vehicle. If you want to walk, the driver waits — but nothing requires it.
- How do I pay?
- Cash on the day is cheapest. Card online includes a 20% charge for the processor and currency conversion — that is not our margin. A retainer of 25% of the card price (minimum €30) holds the vehicle; the balance is cash on the day.
- How many people can come?
- Up to eight. One vehicle seats four; five to eight guests means both cars go out, and both cars are paid for. That is the only honest way to price a two-car fleet.
