About this stop
Përmet brings the journey into everyday life beside the Vjosa. Take time by the river and seek out gliko, the local sweet fruit preserve. A meal and an unhurried evening belong in the plan between outings. Set aside a day for optional guided white-water rafting on the Vjosa. Vjosa Explorer and Rafting Vjosa Albania advertise local guided trips. Confirm the river conditions, suitability for your group, equipment and exact meeting point with your chosen operator. Book separately; the town pin is not a rafting launch. With more time, visit Leusë and its Church of Saint Mary, checking the path and church access locally. Stay three nights in Përmet after the border transfer: one full day for rafting or time in town and one for the Bënjë outing. Return to the same base after each. Record your visit to Përmet whether or not you choose rafting. Photograph: The Vjosa at Përmet. Joergsam / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0.
