The Llogara Pass is the gateway to the Albanian Riviera: 18 km of switchbacks from sea level to 1,027 metres, inside the National Park among Aleppo pines and deer appearing between the curves. At the Deer Park you can see fallow deer and roe deer up close in a protected area of the park.

From the summit viewpoint, on clear days the view covers the entire coast to Corfu and Italy. Then you descend towards the Green Coast of Palasa: a long beach, crystal-clear sea and beach clubs for a relaxing afternoon before heading back.
