Prime Minister Edi Rama shares the images on social media. He posts moments from the lagoon and writes, “Today in Zvërnec.”

Albania offers a safe habitat for many species. Birds live, nest, and feed in protected areas. In recent years, flamingos have expanded their presence in the country. They now nest in the Narta Lagoon and in Zvërnec.

Flamingos live in large colonies in protected wetlands. They form groups of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. They live up to 30 years. During migration, they fly long distances and travel hundreds of kilometers together.

Zvërnec attracts more visitors every year. Recent infrastructure investments and the new connecting bridge improve access. Tourists visit the island in every season.

Visitors also explore the Monastery of St. Mary on Zvërnec Island. A narrow wooden pedestrian bridge leads to the monastery. Builders constructed it in the 10th century in Byzantine style. It remains one of the area’s most important cultural and historical monuments. Zvërnec draws both nature lovers and cultural tourists.
