The Vjosa River, known as “Europe’s last wild river,” is quickly becoming a favorite spot for nature lovers and extreme sports enthusiasts.

Every year, more adventure tourists visit the Vjosa to experience the thrill of rafting. Drawn by its wild flow and untouched nature, they come for a unique ride through canyons, caves, and rich biodiversity.

Today, Prime Minister Edi Rama shared footage of a group of tourists rafting on the Vjosa.

The river flows freely through a protected area. Its route includes both calm stretches and rough, wave-filled sections, offering a dynamic experience. The rafting trail runs nearly 20 kilometers from Përmet to Këlcyrë.

Adventure tourism in Përmet blends seamlessly with local tradition, cuisine, and hospitality. This makes rafting on the Vjosa more than a sport. It becomes a full experience that connects adrenaline with natural beauty.

At the same time, it supports local economic development and helps raise Albania’s profile as an alternative tourist destination.
