Vlorë is situated where the Adriatic and Ionian seas almost meet, marking the gateway to the southern stretch of the Albanian coast. Unlike the smaller towns along the riviera, here the rhythms of everyday city life blend with beaches, a promenade, and a marina that extends along the shoreline. The city holds a special place in Albanian history, as it was here that the country's independence was proclaimed in 1912, but today's atmosphere is defined more by the Lungomare waterfront, the city beaches, and the views toward the Karaburun Peninsula. Vlorë is also the starting point for exploring nearby islands, hidden coves, and a marine park that make this stretch of coast unlike anywhere else in Albania.
