- Sazan Island - Sazan Island stands as the largest island in Albania, a treasure trove of history and natural wonders waiting to be explored. This enigmatic island of the Albanian Riviera has been known since ancient times, with the ancient Greeks being among its earliest visitors. Its strategic location has bestowed it with a fascinating military history, evident in the extensive underground tunnels that crisscross beneath its surface. One of the island’s most striking features is its dramatic rock formations, sculpted by nature over millennia. These formations, along with the island’s rugged coastline, have remained untouched, offering a pristine and unspoiled environment that stands in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of modern life. Whether you are exploring the ancient underground tunnels, marveling at the untouched rock formations, or diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Sazan Island offers a unique and enriching experience

Zvernec Monastery - After leaving Vlora and lunch we will head toward the Island of Zvernex. Connected now by a wooden, picturesque bridge this Island is the seat of the active Orthodox Monastery of Zvernec.
On a small island within the Narta Lagoon, the Zvernec Monastery appears before hundreds of pine trees.
Also known as the St. Mary Of Divinity Church, the Byzantine-era church was thought to be built sometime during the 14th century. Despite its age, the building is extremely well preserved.
The inside is full of beautiful paintings and exceptionally intricate woodworking. The outside has a well-maintained garden, and a few modern structures belonging to the church.
Right next to the entrance to the bridge, metal flamingos shoot out from the water. These are here because Narta Lagoon is known for its actual flamingos. After a long absence, the area is now said to be home to around 3,000 of these long-necked fellows.
After an afternoon spent in Zvernec, return to Tirana in the evening
