TIRANA, January 27 – The villages of Upper Devoll, including Sinica, Arrëza, and Qyteza, remain among the most picturesque destinations during winter. Snow gives these villages a unique look, while closely built stone houses create a characteristic and authentic atmosphere.

Visitors to Upper Devoll encounter a different reality, where tradition and nature coexist away from mass tourism. A resident of Sinica, Dailan Hysolli, invested in opening a guesthouse to support local tourism. He said visitors come throughout the year, and traditional dishes remain a key reason tourists return.

Another resident noted that foreign tourists from Europe, as well as domestic travelers, appreciate the village.

Infrastructure investments have also contributed to the rise in visitor numbers. Afrim Memelli, also from Sinica, explained that tourists admire the traditional architecture, clean nature, and the area’s distinctive water sources.

He added that tourists often seek traditional dishes.

The Upper Devoll villages form part of Korçë County’s rich cultural and natural heritage. With high tourism potential, these villages are attracting increasing attention, especially in winter when they appear at their most enchanting.
