Llogara National Park

Albania / Vlore / Orikum /
 forest, national park
About 40 km to the southeast of Vlora, this Park is where the Adriatic becomes the Ionian sea. Near the Llogara Pass, a number of very interesting tree shapes due to wind currents can be observed. Ask for “Pisha Flamur” (Pine of the Flag).

From the Llogara Pass, visitors can see the Ionian sea, the sharp slopes of Vetëtima (Lightning) mountain and a good part of the “Albanian Riviera.” It is a great spot for air sports as well as a wonderful climate due to the combination of mountain, sea and air.
