Tirana, October 13 – Zvërnec Monastery remains a top tourist attraction in Vlorë. It draws locals and international visitors alike.

The site sits between lush greenery and Narta Lagoon. Its Byzantine architecture fascinates travelers. History and design both captivate visitors.

This weekend, tourists arrived from Canada, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. They called the monastery a must-see destination in southern Albania.

A Canadian group said the Vlora area is beautiful and close to the sea. Their guided tour was canceled. So, they rented a car and visited independently.

An Italian tourist from Lecce added that it was her first time in Vlora. She explored the historic center, lagoon, and monastery. She also took a scooter along the coast and discovered pristine beaches.

A German visitor said this was their first visit. They liked every part of the monastery and surroundings. They previously visited Gjirokastër, Berat, and Ksamil. Vlora will surely see them again.

Visitors from Spain praised Albania’s beauty, hospitality, and affordability. They plan to explore Vlora fully. They hope to recommend it to younger generations.

The monastery’s remote location adds charm. Visitors enjoy peaceful, mystical surroundings. The experience combines nature, history, and serenity.

Zvërnec Island lies within Narta Lagoon in southern Albania. It is mostly covered with tall pine trees. The island measures 430 meters long and 300 meters wide.

A 270-meter wooden bridge connects it to the mainland. The island hosts the famous 13th–14th century Zvërnec Monastery. Nearby, the village of Zvërnec spans roughly nine hectares.
