Vlore

Overview

Introduction

This dusty city has a beautiful setting on the Bay of Vlore, where the Adriatic flows into the Ionian Sea. The city itself doesn't have much to offer travelers, except for an interesting mosque and a large market. There is also a small museum where Albanian Independence was officially declared. Vlore's beaches get prettier outside of town; farther south, the coast turns rocky (but remains pretty), and along the way there are a few cafes perched on cliffs overlooking the bay. Vlore is about 65 mi/105 km southwest of Tirana; continue even farther south and you'll arrive at the stunning Albanian Riviera.
