Vlora

Key attractions include the Independence Monument, Muradie Mosque, Kaninë Castle, and the numerous beautiful beaches along the coast, such as Radhimë Beach and Vlora Beach.

The best time to visit Vlora is during the shoulder seasons, from May to June and September to October, when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. July and August are the hottest months, perfect for swimming but also the busiest.

Vlora offers a delicious array of Albanian cuisine, with a focus on fresh seafood. Expect to find dishes like grilled fish, seafood pasta, and traditional Albanian dishes like Tavë Kosi (baked lamb and rice with yogurt).
