Vlorë–Dhërmi
The Vlorë coast marks the northern entrance to Albania’s Ionian shoreline. The port city of Vlorë sits where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea, while northward toward Dhërmi the road climbs through the Llogara Pass to reveal steep olive hills and turquoise coves — a quieter, more rugged prelude to the famous riviera beaches further south.
