Përmet

Përmet is a city in Gjirokastër County, Albania. While not as well-known as other locations in the country, the city offers some of the most remarkable attractions. You can drive there yourself—this will give you the freedom to take in all the natural beauty at your own pace—or take a bus, which costs less than any other means.

But what exactly makes Përmet so special? There are countless reasons to add it to your Albania trip itinerary.

Last but not least, the mountains around Përmet provide a beautiful view and plenty of hiking opportunities. With its wide landscapes and greenish views, nature offers a peaceful and much-wanted escape. Whether you're hiking or just enjoying the scenery, the mountains of Përmet are memorable.
