Itinerary

Benja Thermal Baths

3 hours

Located at the entrance of the dramatic Lengarica Canyon near Përmet, the Benja Thermal Baths (Banjat e Bënjës) offer a unique natural wellness experience. Here, visitors have the chance to bathe in 6 distinct thermal pools, each featuring different water temperatures and therapeutic properties — ranging from skin-soothing sulfur baths to mineral-rich waters for joint and digestive health.

Set beneath the majestic 18th-century Ottoman Kadiut Bridge, you can soak in the warm springs while taking in breathtaking views of the surrounding wild landscape. For a quieter escape, explore further into the canyon to discover hidden natural basins. Whether you are seeking natural healing or pure relaxation in untouched nature, Benja's thermal pools are a must-visit destination in Albania.
Langarica Canyon

one hour

Carved over millennia by the pristine Lengarica River, the Lengarica Canyon (Kanjoni i Lengaricës) is one of Albania’s most awe-inspiring natural landmarks. Stretching through towering limestone cliffs that reach up to 100 meters in height, this breathtaking gorge offers an unforgettable river-hiking adventure in the heart of nature.

As you trek through the shallow riverbed and narrow rock passages, you’ll discover majestic caves, dramatic geological formations, and hidden thermal pockets along the canyon walls. Frame your journey at the entrance with the historic 18th-century Ottoman Kadiut Bridge, an iconic photo spot. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, and explorers alike, a walk through Lengarica Canyon promises a truly wild and refreshing Mediterranean escape.
Kelcyre

20 min

Located in the spectacular Këlcyra Gorge along the Vjosa River — Europe’s last wild river — the Gryka e Këlcyrës waterfalls offer a serene and refreshing nature stop. Here, crystal-clear mountain springs burst directly out of the rocky limestone cliffs, cascading into cold natural pools and joining the turquoise turquoise waters of the Vjosa below.

Framed by lush plane trees and soaring mountain slopes, this picturesque oasis is the perfect spot to take a break, enjoy the fresh alpine breeze, and capture incredible photos of the pristine river landscape. Visitors can relax at a waterside cafe, sip fresh mountain water, or simply marvel at the raw power and beauty of Albania’s wild rivers.
