Advice & suggestions on a 2 week Albania-Macedonia-Kosovo trip? -long post ahead!

Hi All!
I am taking a 2 week trip through the Balkans (Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo) with my mom and I'd like to get feedback and recommendations. We are in the early stages of planning our itinerary.

So far, we know:

• We are looking for a mix of culture, nature, activities and getting the local vibe. We enjoy museums& exhibitions (no more than 1 or 2 per city, tho), outdoor activities (nothing extreme, things like hiking, swimming and canoeing) and city sighseeing but above all, our favorite thing to do is getting the country's vibes (things like markets, wandering around the street, local cafes and trying -actual- local food).
• We don't want our plan to be too rushed. 3 full days in Tirana and in Skopje might seem like a little bit too much, but we will use them as a base for a day trip each, to do laundry, and they are combined with other higher stress days.
• We'll be doing everything by public transportation, as we don't feel confident enough driving in this countries. Therefore we are planning our route around public transport availability and convenience (trying to avoid early departures, late arrivals, trips with short connecting times and having to carry our backpacks for longer than needed)
• We already have purchased our flight arriving to Tirana on Jun 17 at 5pm and departing from Tirana on July 1 at 12pm. This allows us to make a "loop" kind of route and also, it is the only airport with reasonable connections from out city.
• We're both seasoned travellers, will be travelling just with a personal item backpack and we are both very fit (can walk 25k+ a day like no problem.)

So our temptative itinerary is:

1. TIRANA

• 17 Jun: Arrival to Tirana Airport around 5pm. Bus to city at 6pm, arrive to Hotel by 7pm. Go to a grocery store to get breakfast, snacks and water for the next days, chill walk. Dinner at a Zgara
• 18 Jun. Visit Tirana
• 19 Jun. Full day trip to Krujë (leaving around 9am, coming back around 6pm)
• 20 Jun. Visit Tirana, laundry.

2. DÜRRES

• 21 Jun. Bus to Dürres, 10-11.30am. Leave bags in Hotel (10 mins away from Bus station). 12-3pm: 40 Minutes leisure walk to Kallmi & Currila Beach. Beach time, swimming, picnic. Going back to hotel. 3pm-5.30pm: shower, siesta, relax. 5.30pm-9.30pm walk around city and to Dürres beach & promenade.

3. OHRID

• 22 Jun. Hotel Breakfast, shower, leave hotel at 10am (they allow luggage storage after check out). 10am-3pm: visit Dürres city, lunch. 3pm-6.50pm Flixbus to Ohrid 3pm-6.50pm. Arrive to apartment by 7.30pm, stroll around city.
• 23 Jun. Visit Ohrid Lake

4. SKOPJE

• 24 Jun. Bus to Skopje 9.30-12.30. (could also take it at 11.45am in order to have more time in Ohrid). Arrive to hotel, visit Skopje, groceries, laundry.
• 25 Jun Matka Canyon full day trip: Bus N60 at 8.45am, arrive to the Canyon by 10am. 2 hour Canoe rental, then mountain hike. Bus back to Skopje at 4.20pm
• 26 Jun. Visit Skopje

5. PRISTINA

• 27 Jun. Bus to Pristina 10.10-12.10 am
• 28 Jun. Visit Pristina

6. SHKÖDER

• 29 Jun. Bus to Shköder 08.00-11.50am. Visit Shköder
• 30 Jun. Visit Shköder

1 Jul: Van to Tirana Aiport 07.30-09.30am, for a 12pm flight.
*i did not include what we'll be visiting in each city to avoid making the post longer than it already is.

So, what do you thing about this itinerary? Does it feel too rushed or too slow? We initially considered going to Berat but travel time was too long and stressful so we subbed it for a day trip to Krujë. We also considered Podgorica but the only bus from Prizren or Pristina arrives at 11.30pm and we are already visiting 3 capital cities. Right now we are thinking if we should include Prizsen in our itinerary, either seeing Pristina as a "day trip" (like, going from Skopje to Pristina in the morning and then from Pristina to Prizren in the afternoon) our maybe spending one night in Pristina and one night in Prizren.

We would appreciate feedback on this itinerary and any advice about local "off the beaten path"/quirky/ truly local experiences and food.

Thanks!
