Overview
To locals, it’s known as the “Paris of Albania”. Its proximity to Tirana, and its temperate mountain climate, make it a popular weekend destination. Therefore, during the week, you will find a much quieter city with plenty of accommodation choices. Korça became wealthy as a trading post and a center for many craftspeople. In the recent past, its most influential inhabitants were wealthy Christian merchants of orthodox roots. The city of beautiful intellectual and artistic traditions is one of the largest and most important cultural and economic centers of Albania.
A visit to the impressive village of Voskopoje, enjoying a lunch of organic food awaits us, as well as the care of the villagers in the area for livestock and cattle, which is the main economic activity with which this important part of southeastern Albania is supplied.
Discover the charm of Korça, Albania's 'Paris,' during a quieter week. Explore its rich history and cultural significance, then venture to Voskopoje for organic cuisine and local insights. Unforgettable experiences await!
