Work has started at the Bënja Thermal Waters, 14 kilometers from the town of Përmet, to transform the area into a tourist destination.

Minister of Tourism and Environment Mirela Kumbaro shared the news in a social media post.

She said, “Work has begun at the Bënja Baths to carry out one of the most beautiful projects in Përmet”.

“This project improves infrastructure and appearance, expands the tourist offer, increases economic value, and protects their natural and historical significance,” Kumbaro added.

The project is funded by the Albanian government through the Albanian Development Fund.

The Bënja Thermal Waters are considered among the best in Europe.

These open-air springs are located in the Petran commune, just 3 kilometers from where the Vjosa River meets the Lengarica stream.

Water temperature ranges from 26 to 32°C.

The site, surrounded by unspoiled nature, offers a unique mix of history, adventure, and landscape. Visitors can also explore the Langarica Canyon and Kati Bridge nearby.
