kheori river

Kheori river spring

One of the three rivers starting in Shkmeri. Other two join Kheori later. In the end of the village river drops into the cave and comes out again some 3-4 km away. The old gorge is still visible behind the cave with cascades that are empty now.

Kolosi sanctuary

Most famous of few sacred places in the village with untouched forest and springs. It was holy place even before Christianity reached mountains.
