Why Buyers Looking at Vlorë Are Arriving at the Right Time
Vlorë is Albania's third city: port, university, hospital, services open twelve months a year. But it is also the gateway to the Riviera — over the Llogara Pass begins the country's most spectacular coastline — and above all it is the city of the new international airport (VLO), built in the Akërni plain 15 km from the center. When commercial flights start, the northern Riviera's beaches will be under an hour from touchdown: the expected effect on tourism and property values is the bet moving this market.
The most requested areas: the new promenade with its seafront residences, the coast south toward Radhimë and Orikum, and the Kaninë hillside for bay-view villas. In town, semi-central districts offer lower prices and a stable long-term rental market.
