Slovak Photographer Wins Albanian Tourism Promotion Prize

Zvërneci, 14 km from Vlorë, has become one of Albania’s top tourist spots.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared photos today by Slovak photographer Alexander Uhrin. Uhrin won the “Ambassador for Promoting Albanian Tourism” award at the “Wanderlust in Albania 2” international photo and video contest.
The contest returned this year after its first success. It reveals Albania’s beauty through travelers’ photos and reels.
Photographers and videographers from Albania and 36 countries showcased stunning images of Albania’s nature, culture, and history.
Uhrin’s photos highlighted Zvërneci, a growing natural destination attracting many visitors.
Recent investments and a new bridge help tourists enjoy sunny days on the island in the Narta Lagoon.
Besides its nature, Zvërneci’s St. Mary’s Monastery draws visitors. The Byzantine monastery dates back to the 10th century AD. Visitors reach it by a narrow wooden footbridge.
The monastery’s history and legends make it attractive all year round.
