Orikum - Amantia - Apollonia
Vlora is one of the largest, most densely
populated cities in Albania and it is
located only 120 km from “Mother Theresa”
International Airport. The port activity
in this thriving trade center is rivaled only
by that in Durrës. Continuing southward,
visitors will enjoy spectacular views of the
Gulf of Vlora. The small city of Orikum lies
south of the Gulf of Vlora, near a marina
that can accommodate up to 650 yachts.
Orikum was an important harbor in the
ancient world, and features a variety of
ruins to explore. The major city of Fier
is about 30 km north of Vlora, and the
archaeological site of Apollonia lies just
west of Fier. The ancient city of Apollonia
was named for the Greek God Apollo.
It was founded in the beginning of the
seventh century B.C. by Corinthian settlers
and features extensive ruins to observe
and discover.
