Not far south of Vlore begins the Ceraunian mountain range. You can venture off into Llogara’s wilderness, in a protected area where even European wildcats continue to thrive.
If you have an intrepid nature then there’s nothing to stop you taking on the various peaks in the region, like Mount Cika which rises above 2000 metres and has views that stretch as far as Italy.
If that sounds like too much trouble then you can content yourselves with a drive along the scenic Llogara Pass, 1000 metres above sea level
