Know More About Vlore Before You Visit:
Vlore lies in the southwestern coastal region of Albania, at the southern end of the Adriatic Sea and the northern part of the Ionian Sea. The Vlore coastline accounts for about 30% of the entire coast of Albania and in its proximity is located the Albanian Riviera.
Vlorë sits on a bay that marks the meeting of the Adriatic and the Ionian seas, which means clean waters and brilliant beaches. With over 300 sunny days a year, too, it’s easy to see why it’s a popular beach resort. But if you prefer your beach to come with a side of city slicking, Vlorë also fits the bill.
The city beaches can be a bit crowded and unkempt at the peak of summer when the mercury soars, so visit on either side of peak season. Plazhi i Ri is the best bet. There are also quieter and more appealing beaches just south of the city – the locals love Orikum. For a real escape, catch a boat to the Karaburun Peninsula, which is pretty free of development and offers pristine white pebble beaches.
Albania boasts a seriously eclectic history, from the Greeks and the Romans, through to the Ottomans and its years under a madcap socialist dictator, Enver Hoxha. Part of the attraction in visiting the Ethnographic Museum of Vlorë is enjoying the elegant 18th-century building that houses it. The collection sweeps around the traditional folk costumes and traditions of the city, plus the surrounding region.
What to Eat:
Vlore's sea products are some of the best in Albania. You must not forget to visit Paradise Beach Restaurant, one of the best seafood products in Albania. It's 5-10 minutes (depending on traffic) with a car from the center of Vlore.
