Drilon
Before leaving Pogradeci don’t
miss Driloni and Tushemishti,
just 4-5 km south of the city.
The Driloni source waters form
a small lake, surrounded by
beautiful greenery that makes
the area and the nearby vil-
lage of Tushemishti a unique
oasis of beauty and tranquil-
ity. The region of Pogradeci is
rich in striking and distinctive
natural and historical monu-
ments. You might visit the
natural monument of “Stone
of Kamje”, which is located
in the commune of Dardhas
(on the way from Pogradeci
to Korça, near the village of
Osnati). It is 70 meters high
and suddenly rises out of the
surrounding terrain like a “ship
sailing in a sea of green.” The
archaeological site and Monu-
mental Graves of Selca lies 30
km away from Pogradeci. The
monuments here date back
to the 4th century BC and the
five rocky monumental graves
are rarely found elsewhere in
the Balkans.
