📍 Destination Overview
Vlora, capital of Albania's Vlore County on the Adriatic, is where independence was declared in 1912; the monument in Flag Square stands at its heart. Its palm-lined seaside boulevard stretches seven kilometres, a favourite for sunsets. Nearby, Zvernec Bay and Llogara National Park offer pines and beaches. It is the northern gateway to the Albanian Riviera.
