Këlcyrë Gorge
Gryka e Këlcyrës
A steep gorge carved by the Vjosa River through the mountains. The road runs alongside it, and riverside restaurants serve grilled fish.
Këlcyrë Gorge lies about 20 km northwest of Përmet and is the main route to Gjirokastër and Tirana. The emerald Vjosa River runs between cliffs, and roadside viewpoints and riverside restaurants famous for grilled trout line the way. During World War II, this area was the site of fierce fighting in the Greco-Italian War. Some rafting routes also pass through this section. A stop while driving is enough.
