The village of Lin, located on the shores of Lake Ohrid in Pogradec, is one of Albania’s most beautiful and undiscovered treasures. This small village, with its rich history and nature, offers a special experience for every visitor.With the small houses built by the water, on the back of a not very high hill, with small and narrow alleys, paved with small stones, where you can hardly pass by car, it arouses the interest of all visitors or tourists local and foreign.

Lin is a must-see destination 22 km from the town of Pogradec, with a rare beauty and stunning scenery.

Legend has it that the Lin peninsula was once a beautiful island with dense vegetation. Life on this peninsula began in the first period of the Iron Age (to which also belong the famous mosaics of Lin, which are found on the hill) and continued until the time of the Early Middle Ages. This settlement turns out to be the oldest in Europe.

Lin is surrounded by wonderful nature. Lake Ohrid, one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe, offers numerous opportunities for water activities such as fishing, swimming and sailing.Also, the surrounding area is ideal for hiking and nature exploration, with the path leading to various panoramic points where you can enjoy wonderful views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Old traditions and customs are still kept alive in this village, including traditional festivals and cultural events that bring the community together. If you are planning a trip to Pogradec, be sure to include Lini in your itinerary. You will not be disappointed!
