Outdoor sights in Ionian Coast

  1. Llogaraja Pass (National Park)

    The road going south from Vlora climbs up to the Llogaraja Pass, over 1000m high, for some of Albania's most spectacular scenery. If you are going to Dhërmiu or Himara, this is the road you will take.

    From the road you will see clouds descending onto the mountain, steep hillsides crashing into the sea below, shepherds on the plains guiding their herds, and thick forests where deer, wild boar and wolves roam. The local name for these mountains is Malet e Vetetimes, which means 'thunder mountains'.
