Walking tour of Vlora recommended

The Balkans is an excellent vacation spot for those who are tired of beaches and traditional places for domestic tourists. Here, too, there is sea, sun and sights, but the routes are not so well-traveled and can pleasantly surprise you. Where the Adriatic and Ionian Seas literally meet, close-close to Italy, there is an Albanian resort - the peninsula and the city of Vlore. There are flat roads, clean beaches, equipped for the needs of vacationers, a variety of catering facilities and a great variety of hotels. It is worth trying seafood in Vlora's restaurants, especially since they are mainly fed almost exclusively here.
