A European beach oasis

In the south of Albania lies this beautiful coastal town. By the Adriatic Sea, you can relax or practise water sports. The beauty of its beaches has been compared to that of the Maldives. The favourite of the Albanians, Plazhi i Vjeter beach, is in the city itself. There are quieter options towards the south, where hotels even have private areas. Its cultural offering also makes it climb the rankings as a choice for a beach holiday on the European continent. Its splendour goes back a long way. It was the country's capital until the beginning of the 20th century, and its location made it an object of desire and dispute among Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman trading peoples. Hence its rich heritage, now visible in its castles, mosques, churches and monuments. Another of its great attractions is the gastronomy. With Turkish, Greek and Italian influences, its Mediterranean diet offers unique flavours, among which its olives, the Vlonjak, one of the oldest varieties in Europe, stand out. You don't need any more reasons to choose Vlora as a holiday destination in Albania.
