Vjosa Wild River National Park
Parku Kombëtar i Lumit të Egër Vjosa
Europe's first wild river national park, with Permet as the base for rafting and kayaking on the Vjosa River.
The Vjosa is one of the last large undammed rivers in Europe. It was established as a national park in 2023. Several rafting companies operate around the town of Permet. Common routes start from Çarshovë or the town and float downstream for about two to three hours, with equipment and a guide costing about €30 to 40. The gravel riverbanks and the Nemërçka Mountains along the shore make for spectacular scenery, and the area is also good for birdwatching and riverside camping.
