Kuzum Baba
A Bektashi dervish lodge and viewing terrace on a small hill south of the city center, overlooking Vlorë, the bay and Sazan Island.
Kuzum Baba is a small hill beside the old town. Its summit holds the tomb of a Bektashi Sufi saint and a dervish lodge. Surrounded by pine-forest parkland and viewing terraces, it offers a 360-degree panorama of Vlorë, the bay and distant Sazan Island, especially beautiful at sunset. Cafés and restaurants sit beside the terraces. It is about a 15-minute walk up from Flag Square, or you can drive up. Free to visit. Dress respectfully when entering the lodge.
