Top Attractions in Vlore
💡 Best light for photos is late afternoon. In the evening, locals gather for promenade — grab a cheap ice cream from a kiosk and join the crowd.
💡 Walk 10 minutes from the main road through a tunnel to reach the cove. No services — bring water and snacks. The water gets deep fast, good for confident swimmers.
💡 Go at low tide to avoid muddy patches on the bridge. Take insect repellent in summer — mosquitoes are fierce near the lagoon.
💡 Bring your own snorkel gear. Boat tours cost extra (around €15-20), but you can hike the coastal trail for free from the Radhima side. The path is rough — wear sturdy shoes.
💡 Entrance costs 200 lek (about €2). Pay in cash — they often can't take cards. Allow 30-45 minutes. The courtyard has a nice fig tree for a break.
