After sharing previous glimpses of Vlora’s beauty, I’ve returned this spring to rediscover its charm through a new lens. Located in southern Albania, Vlora is a unique coastal city where the Adriatic and Ionian Seas meet, offering a blend of natural beauty, history, and a relaxed Mediterranean vibe. This time of year is especially magical—spring brings a gentle warmth, fewer crowds, and a vibrant awakening along the coast. The seaside promenade is perfect for strolls with views of Sazan Island in the distance, while nearby beaches like Radhimë and Orikum begin to sparkle under the seasonal sun.
Vlora is more than just a beach destination; it’s rich in culture and history. From the Independence Monument and the Muradie Mosque to the ancient ruins of Kaninë Castle and the nearby Llogara Pass with its panoramic views, there’s much to explore beyond the shore. In this latest photo series, I capture quiet moments by the sea, early-season sunsets, and glimpses of local life slowly returning to rhythm. Whether you’re planning your first trip or returning like I did, Vlora in spring offers the perfect mix of tranquility, beauty, and discovery.
