Vlora, a coastal, lies in the Southwestern part of the country. It claims distinction for its position, mild climate and natural beauties. In antiquity, it was known with the name Aulona. Vlora is one of the major cities of the country, an important seaport and a touristic site. While in Vlora, one can pay visits to the Historical Museum, to the Museum of Independence, which is in building where the independence of Albania was proclaimed on November 28, 1912. A monument, which perpetuates this event, rises high at the Flag Square.
The “Liria” touristic site has been built on a predominant hill and in an environment full of olive trees. From there, as standing in a balcony, you cast glance not on the city but also its beach and surrounding.
