City Stone of Përmet
Guri i Qytetit
A massive rock standing beside the Vjosa River, with steps to the top for views over the small town and river valley. It is a landmark of Përmet.
City Stone is a solitary large rock beside the Vjosa River in the town center, and local legend holds that a castle once guarded the town. Steps lead to the top in a few minutes, with views over the tidy town, the pedestrian bridge across the river and Mount Nemërçkë on the opposite bank. The area around it is a riverside park with cafés, ideal for an evening stroll and a good place to try the local fruit preserve (gliko) and raki. Entry is free.
