Usually ‘middle of nowhere’ is a bad thing, but not in this case. We’re talking about Farma Sotira, a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Southeastern Albania, where you forget about daily life, traffic, noise and pollution.

Farma Sotira is located in proximity of the Village of Germenj, halfway between Erseka and Leskovik in Kolonje. But don’t let the title ‘in the middle of nowhere’ scare you.

Farma Sotira isn’t a hotel. It’s an escape. Tucked away in the forests of Leskovik, this off-the-grid farm invites you to disconnect from noise, reconnect with nature, and experience rural Albania; up close and hands-on.

Whether you want to go horseback riding, milk goats at sunset, breathe in beehive air, or sleep under the stars, this place offers all of it in one location.

At Farma Sotira, you’ll find Toni (Jeton) and Nida (Jonida), 2 very passionate farmers that met in Greece, and decided to pursue their dream of running an agrotourism resort, although Toni had already started Farma Sotira a few years prior to meeting Nida. In the beginning, Farma Sotira was just a fish farm, which led to Toni being commonly known as ‘Toni the fish guy’.
