Narta
North of the city of Vlora is the
lagoon of Narta, the second
biggest lagoon in Albania.
There are 195 species of wa-
terfowl living in the area, and
Mediterranean woods cover
the tract of land dividing the
lagoon from the sea. It’s a
good place to observe the
seabirds or to fish. The water
is full of different kinds of fish,
especially eels and bass.
The village of Narta stands
south of the lagoon on the wa-
ter’s edge, and is surrounded
by low hills covered with vine-
yards that are used to make
one of the best artisanal wines
in Albania. The lagoon also of-
fers the picturesque view of
the village of Zvërneci and of
the nearby island, which hosts
the Byzantine-style Church
and the Monastery of Saint
Mary. The lagoon ends with
the Cape of Treporti, which
joins the forest-covered hill
to form a beautiful natural en-
semble.
