Driving Directions to Holta Canyon
Holta Canyon is located in the Gramsh district, about a 2-hour drive from Tirana. The last section of the road is unpaved, so a 4x4 or a vehicle with high clearance is highly recommended.
From Tirana (approx. 2 hours)
- Take the highway south towards Elbasan (A3).
- From Elbasan, follow the signs to Gramsh via SH71.
- Once in Gramsh, continue south along the Devoll river.
- Look for the signs pointing to Kabash village and the canyon. The road turns to gravel here for the last 40 minutes.
