Vlora marks the point where the Adriatic Sea meets the Ionian Sea and offers some of the clearest waters along the Albanian coast. Located approximately two hours from Golem, it deserves a special trip to explore its natural beauty and historical heritage.
The city has great historical significance, as Albania's Independence was declared here on 28 November 1912. This historic event is commemorated at Flag Square, one of the city's main landmarks. From Vlora, you can continue towards Cape Radhima and the beaches of Orikum, where turquoise waters and peaceful bays create a typical Mediterranean atmosphere.
For those who wish to explore further, this area also provides access to the Albanian Riviera, along scenic mountain roads leading to Dhërmi, Himarë and beyond. Even a stop in Vlora gives you the opportunity to enjoy fresh fish and impressive views over the Bay of Vlora and the Strait of Otranto.
If, during your holiday in Golem, you would like to discover more of the Albanian coastline, Vlora is one of the most impressive destinations for a day trip. It is particularly appealing to those who want to enjoy the beauty and contrast of two seas.
