Last autumn we got out on a lovely hike in Prespa Last autumn we got out on a lovely hike in Prespa National Park, on the border of Albania, North Macedonia, and Greece.

It was a little rockier than we bargained for but the views were gorgeous!  #albaniatourism #thebalkans #easterneurope #okennasodyssey #lakeviews #hikemore #visitalbania #getoutside #landscapephotos #naturelovers
