Itinerary description
|
At the port of Vlora we took a boat that took us towards the Karaburun peninsula - a military area during the "glorious regime" as our local guide ironically calls it - where he first showed us the large sea cave of Hazhi Alia and then let us disembark in an obviously disused military landing place at Capo di Lingua protected by a double line of reinforced concrete bunkers. From there we went up to take the old military connecting road, also visiting a cave emplacement for large-caliber artillery to defend against attacks from the sea.
We walked for about ten km halfway up the coast, passing over a series of bays with pebble beaches and crystal clear water. It's a shame for the carelessness that leads locals to sow plastic bottles and other containers everywhere...
The trek ended in Shen Vasil bay served by a pier for tourist boats and some restaurants on the beach where our boat was waiting for us which, after a couple of hours of relaxation, took us back to Vlora.
Trekking organized by the "over 60s" of the Feltre CAI

Salve, mi sa indicare per caso con che guida ha fatto l'escursione? È un pacchetto unico trasporto in barca e guida? Grazie!
Eravamo un gruppo organizzato dal Cai di Feltre. Non ti so dire il nome della guida ma mi ricordo che al porto c’erano tante barche che facevano avanti e indietro per i turisti
