Qender Erseke
The Grammos Mountains define the setting of Aetomilitsa — wooded ridges and steep ground shape this small settlement in Epirus, close to the Albanian border. Part of the wider Pindus system, Grammos forms a rugged frontier landscape of high slopes, forest and mountain pasture. Aetomilitsa belongs to the Vlach, or Aromanian, cultural world of northern Greece, whose communities traditionally followed pastoral livelihoods across the Pindus. Stone-paved lanes, retaining walls and hillside houses reflect a settlement adapted to demanding terrain. The surrounding range also holds an important place in modern Greek history as a principal theatre of the Greek Civil War. Aetomilitsa conveys the scale and relative isolation of Greece’s northwestern mountains.

Qendër Ersekë sits on the Kolonjë plateau in southern Albania, where highland terrain rises toward the Gramos Mountains and the Greek frontier. Commonly known as Ersekë, it is the administrative centre of Kolonjë Municipality and stands at roughly 1,000 metres, giving it a cooler climate than Albania’s coastal cities. The town serves a scattering of agricultural settlements across the uplands, where apple growing is a noted local tradition and livestock farming remains important. Its roads connect the Kolonjë highlands with Korçë and the southern border area. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of southern Albania connects regionally.

The Pindus foothills and deep river valleys define much of Southern Albania - farming and settlement gather on valley floors, while the higher country remains lightly populated. In the interior around Çorovodë, the Osum River passes through limestone terrain and forms the Osum Canyon; farther south, the Vjosa is among the Balkans’ major rivers. Mount Tomorr rises north of this area and is an important pilgrimage site, particularly during its August Bektashi gathering. Berat provides an urban counterpoint: its historic centre is UNESCO-listed, with a hillside castle above Ottoman-era houses.

Mountain ranges define much of Albania — steep terrain has concentrated settlements and transport routes in valleys and along the coastal plain, while rivers such as the Drin support hydropower. The Albanian Alps rise in the north, and the Adriatic and Ionian coasts shape the country’s western and southern shores. Tirana is the capital and largest city, while Berat and Gjirokastër are UNESCO World Heritage cities noted for their historic urban fabric. Albania’s Mediterranean setting also appears in olive growing, coastal cuisine and cultural influences from the Balkans, the Ottoman world and Italy.
