The City of Roses: Gateway to Vjosa
Welcome to Përmet, Albania's premier destination for ecotourism and outdoor adventure.
Known affectionately as the "City of Roses," Përmet is celebrated as the greenest and cleanest town in Albania. Nestled in the heart of the newly established Vjosa River National Park—Europe's first wild river national park—this charming mountain town offers an unmatched blend of adrenaline and tranquility. Beyond the thrilling white water rafting and canyoning in the spectacular Lengarica Gorge, Përmet serves as a vital cultural haven.
The region is famous for its outstanding Albanian hospitality, authentic "slow food" gastronomy featuring local organic gliko, and historic stone villages. After a day of exploring the rugged Albanian Alps or riding the rapids, you can rejuvenate your muscles in the world-renowned Bënja thermal baths, natural healing hot springs framed by an ancient Ottoman stone bridge. Whether you are seeking high-octane river exploration or a peaceful retreat into pristine nature, Përmet is the ultimate base camp for your adventure.
