Private door-to-door taxi, minivan or minibus from TIA to Ohrid — about 150 km via Elbasan and the Qafë Thanë border, roughly 3–3½ hours. Straight to your hotel on Lake Ohrid. Instant price quote, flight tracking. Operated by ATHS, 30+ years in Balkan travel.
Ohrid — a UNESCO World Heritage town on the shore of ancient Lake Ohrid — is one of the Balkans' most beautiful lake destinations, famous for its old town, hilltop churches and clear water. It lies about 150 kilometres east of Tirana International Airport (TIA / Nënë Tereza), reached through Elbasan and Librazhd and across the Qafë Thanë border into North Macedonia.
The drive takes roughly 3 to 3½ hours including the border crossing. There is no convenient direct public transport that matches most arrivals, so a private cross-border transfer is the easiest way to reach your hotel. Bring a valid passport or ID card for the border; our drivers know the crossing. Night and early departures are available at no extra charge.
