About Llogara Pass

At 1,027 metres in Llogara National Park, the Llogara Pass carries the road from Vlorë over the Ceraunian Mountains to the Riviera. The summit is all pine forest, restaurants serving lamb and mountain tea, and paragliders drifting on the breeze. Then the road plunges in tight hairpins, the whole coast unrolling below towards Dhërmi and the islands. Pull in at a viewpoint on the way down to take it all in. In winter, the peaks above can wear snow while the coast below stays mild.

Our take

  • Pine forest summit
  • Hairpin descent
