Pogradec is a city in the East of Albania on the shores of Lake Ochrid. It is possible to cross the border to Macedonia by foot or by car to the south of Lake Ochrid, but major coaches to Ohrid town take the northern route from Tirana.

[edit] Get in

There is one train a day from Tirana that leaves at 5.55am and gets in at 12.23pm. The train line stops a few miles short of Pogradec so when you get off the train there is a rush for the buses which take you into the town.

A better option is to take a furgon from Tirana: the departure points of these change regularly so check with the hotel or hostel. These take several hours but the roads in the East are largely good.

Because Pogradec is on the wrong side of the beautiful Lake Ohrid, it is easy to imagine that it was once a popular, bustling town. For this reason, hotels line the seafront and it is worth negotiating with proprietors since they will be desperate to attract customers.
