The Journey
Vjosa River
The Vjosa River, one of Europe's last wild rivers, offers a breathtaking journey through Albania's heartland. Flowing freely for 272km from the Pindus Mountains in Greece to the Adriatic Sea, it carves through stunning gorges, nourishes expansive valleys, and passes ancient Illyrian ruins and traditional villages. Witness its ever-changing landscape, from the rugged mountains to the serene coastal plains, and experience the raw beauty of a river untouched by modern development—a haven for biodiversity and a testament to nature's resilience.
Këlcyrë Gorge
The Këlcyrë Gorge, sculpted by the Vjosë River near the town of Këlcyrë, presents a dramatic natural spectacle. Towering cliffs enclose the turquoise waters, creating a mesmerizing landscape. The gorge is a haven for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike, offering opportunities for hiking, photography, and simply marveling at the power of nature. Imagine standing at the edge, feeling the mist on your face as you gaze at the majestic Vjosë carving its path through the rock—a truly unforgettable experience.

Përmet, affectionately known as the "City of Roses," exudes a vibrant energy and is renowned as one of Albania's greenest and cleanest cities. Nestled along the banks of the Vjosa River and surrounded by majestic mountains, this charming town is a hub of folk music, delectable cuisine (especially its famous gliko sweets), and rich history. Explore the town's cobblestone streets, immerse yourself in its warm hospitality, and discover why Përmet is a true gem of Albanian culture and natural beauty – a place where nature's wonders and human spirit intertwine.
Benja Thermal Baths
The Benja Natural Hot Springs offer a unique and rejuvenating experience amidst the stunning Albanian landscape. Situated near the Këlcyrë Gorge, these naturally heated pools, formed by the Langarica River flowing into the Vjosë, are renowned for their therapeutic mineral-rich waters. Take a soothing dip in the stone-lined pools, believed to alleviate various ailments, and embrace the tranquility of this natural spa. The Ottoman bridge nearby adds to the picturesque setting, making it a perfect blend of relaxation and historical charm.
Lengarica Canyon
The Lengarica Canyon, a breathtaking natural wonder carved by the Langarica River, is a haven for both relaxation and adventure. Enclosed by the forests and mountains of Dangelli and Shqeri and ultimately merging with the Vjosa River, the canyon offers dramatic scenery and invigorating hot springs.
