Vlorë
Where the Adriatic meets the Ionian: a real working city with a long beach promenade and wild coast a boat ride away.
[Intro paragraph — replace me.] Vlorë is the last big town before the coast road climbs over the Llogara Pass and drops into the Riviera proper. Most people drive straight through, which is a mistake: the Lungomare promenade south of the centre has good beaches and better restaurants than Sarandë, prices are lower, and the speedboat trips to the empty coves of Karaburun and Sazan Island are the best boat day in Albania.
Beaches in and around Vlorë
Sandy in the city, pebbly and clearer as you head south along the bay.

Where to eat
Vlorë is a fish town. Look for the day's catch on ice rather than a laminated menu.

Where to stay in Vlorë
Stay on the Lungomare, not in the centre — you want to walk to the beach, not to the port.
