The palm-lined city of Vlore sits on a stretch of beautiful coastline where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea.

Here you’ll find Turquoize waters that lap at golden sandy beaches backed by lush, green mountains.

Like many cities in the region, Vlore has a rich and varied history from the Illyrians to the Greeks, Romans and Ottomans.

Vlore was once the capital of Albania and is the city in which the country’s independence was declared in 1912.

You’ll find plenty of interesting museums here, such as the Ethnographic Museum dedicated to the folk costumes and traditions of the region.
