Mount Çika, where the sea and snow share the postcard

TIRANA, January 6 – Mount Çika in Vlora, covered by snow in early January, offered tourists a stunning view.
Visitors experienced a unique natural setting, with the sharp peak of Mount Çika above the Ionian Sea on one side and the Vlora River on the other. This combination made the mountain a popular attraction for nature lovers, hikers, and observation tourism for both local and foreign visitors.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images on social media showing a group of tourists at the mountain peak. He described the images as spectacular and said that Mount Çika was where the sea and snow divide the postcard.
The peak of Mount Çika is a high, isolated point in the Ceraunian Mountains in Albania. It rises to 2044 meters above sea level and lies within the city of Vlora. It ranks 85th among Europe’s highest peaks.
As part of Llogara National Park, the mountain is known for its rich biodiversity. Its western side hosts various species, including Bulgarian fir, Austrian pine, Bosnian pine, and Macedonian pine.
Throughout the year, visitors enjoy exceptional views of the Albanian Riviera and the rare forests of Mount Çika.
