The Vjosa River, often celebrated as the “last wild river of Europe,” flows through the heart of Albania, carving its way through stunning landscapes of gorges, valleys, and lush green mountains. Originating in Greece and winding for over 270 kilometers, it runs freely without dams or artificial obstructions, maintaining a dynamic ecosystem that’s home to diverse species of flora and fauna. This pristine river is a hub for ecotourism, offering activities like rafting, kayaking, and bird-watching, especially around the town of Këlcyrë, where the currents are perfect for thrilling whitewater adventures. Conservation efforts continue to focus on preserving its untouched beauty and supporting the sustainable development of local communities. Vjosa’s clear blue waters and vibrant biodiversity make it a jewel of the Balkans and a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts.
