Southern Albania

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.
