Located in South Albania, and completely surrounded by both the Adriatic Sea to the north and the Ionian Sea to the south, the Caraburun Peninsula is a must place to visit in Albania!
A boat ride from Vlora takes you there with a spectacular view. The only marine park in the country, the home of seals and turtles offers to every visitor a stunning view of the untouchable park. A stop at the Haxhi Ali Cave, which now is a national monument, will show us how the smugglers and traders used this place a very long time ago. Snorkle through the bay, enjoying a sunbath under the sun and tasting a picnic lunch with fresh local food will make you to stay there forever.
First we will visit the Haxhi Ali cave, the most notorious, 40 meters deep and 60 meters high, with the history that surrounds it this makes it the biggest cave in Albania. A surprise awaits inside the cave, a small lake where we can swim and notice that there used to be life here, just because of the trails inside.
It is time for some snorkel! Heading to Dafina Bay we will enjoy snorkel and have a closer look to the rich flora and fauna under the water. Exploring one of the largest water ecosystems while we will go to Brisani Bay.
Heading out from the bays we will visit the largest Albanian Island, Sazani Island. A submarine base from the Cold War, will be the last surprise where you can figure it out how base and a chemical/biological weapons plant on the island and surrounding areas.
In the end, it is time to enjoy a delicious local lunch with fresh sea products.
