Pogradec by Lake Ohrid is experiencing busy summer days. Local and foreign tourists continue to choose the lakeside city as one of Albania’s calmest and most welcoming destinations.

“This is our first time here. It’s a very pleasant place. The lake is large and beautiful. People are kind and the food is excellent,” said one tourist.

“We’re from Greece. It’s our first time in Pogradec and we really like it,” added another visitor.

“It’s very nice here. Peaceful, clean, and quiet. We hope to come back and stay longer,” said a third tourist.

Currently, Pogradec offers around 2,000 beds in 47 hospitality structures. However, growing demand highlights the need for expanding capacity and increasing the number of tourism operators.
