In July and August there is a second departure, with check-in at 11:00 am. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/northalbaniaboat.com\/sq\/per_rezervim\/turne-me-varke-ne-lumin-shala-prane-liqenit-komani\/\">boat tour from Komani Lake to Shala River<\/a><\/strong> costs \u20ac25 per person. Arrive at least 45 minutes early in peak season to find parking, and book in advance in July and August when demand is highest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sh\u00ebnim: Rruga nga Shkodra n\u00eb Koman p\u00ebrfshin nj\u00eb pjes\u00eb t\u00eb gjat\u00eb shtegu malor me gropa dhe pa parmak\u00eb. \u00cbsht\u00eb e menaxherueshme me nj\u00eb makin\u00eb standarde, por jo e shpejt\u00eb.

There are sunbeds, music, several restaurants and bars operating along the river, and a fairly constant flow of boats.
