Pogradec, a favorite destination in every season for both local and foreign tourists, will officially open the summer season on May 31.

The city will host cultural events, sports activities, and music concerts over the weekend.

The National Tourism Agency invites everyone to join the celebration.

“On May 31, when the sun rises over the lake, Pogradec will wake up in celebration. The opening of the tourist season by the lake invites you to have fun. The wind will carry the smell of traditional food, and music will fill the air with joy,” says the Agency.

During the day, visitors will enjoy water sports, exhibitions, and traditional fairs.

In the evening, concerts will feature artists like Eli Fara, Mimoza Shaholli, Rajmond Gusho, Sardi Struga, Wizzi DJ, and the Vlora Parodists.

Facing Ohrid and Struga, 39 km from Korça, Pogradec lies on the shore of Lake Ohrid and beneath Mali i Thatë. It is one of Albania’s most beautiful tourist attractions, welcoming visitors year-round.

Popular spots include Prespa, Driloni, Tushemisht, and of course, Lake Ohrid—a unique natural, relaxing, and inspiring gem.

Pogradec and its surroundings have become a key tourist destination. Along with infrastructure projects, investments now focus on guesthouses, hotels, and tourism businesses. These meet the growing demand from local and international tourists, drawn by the area’s nature, culture, and rich history.
