Llogara National Park
This park is located 40 km southeast of Vlora on the border
between the Adriatic and Ionian seas. The park starts at 470 m above sea level
and climbs to 2018 m. Close to the peak of Llogara Pass visitors may notice
beautifully-shaped trees formed by air currents. Ask for the tree locally-known
as the Flag Pine located by the road.
From the Llogara Pass one can clearly see the Ionian Sea three
kilometers away, the steep rocky sides of Lightning Mountain and large parts of the Riviera.
Running through the park is the national road, Vlora-Himara-Saranda.
There is a very rich flora and fauna with 105 different kinds of
birds and animals such as foxes, wild cats, deer, etc. The climate of the park
is highly valued thanks to a virtuous combination of fresh mountain air and sea
air. It is considered one of Albania's most valuable tourist attractions and it
offers possibilities of eco-tourism, air sports, hiking and picnics.
