Velipoja
The beach of Velipoja is only
22 km away from the city of
Shkodra. The long shoreline
is famous for its therapeu-
tic sand. Possessing unusu-
ally high iodine content, many
people have taken to bury-
ing themselves in it to relieve
bodily aches and pains. Be-
sides swimming and fishing,
the surrounding scenery of-
fers many interesting natural
objects worth seeing, such as
the small island of Franc Jo-
seph positioned at the mouth
of the Buna River, close to the
Montenegro border.
