The
Ishëm is a river in western
Albania. It forms part of a
watercourse (
Tiranë-
Gjole-Ishëm) that measures 79 km, but only the lower third of the watercourse is known as the Ishëm. The Ishëm proper is formed at the confluence of the rivers
Gjole and
Zezë, a few km northwest of
Fushë-Krujë. It flows into the
Adriatic Sea near the town
Ishëm.
