Tepelene

A large archaeological site of 30 hectares in Hekal village. The most important city of southern Illyria, it was founded by Bylis Illyrian tribe and became center of the region presiding over a number of small fortified areas. It later became a Roman colony and then a Byzantine site until destruction by Slavic invasions in the 6th century. Allow at least two hours for the visit and be mindful of the sun during summer. In clear weather, the surrounding area all the way to Karaburun Peninsula can be seen from Bylis.

You can start the hike in Nivice or Progonat and head down till Senica, from where you can head to Sarandë or Gjirokastër.

Could be explorable, but only if you have something to float like a small boat.

This is also breathtaking and memorable place, created by the river Vjosë. Visit the Orthodox Monastery (Manastiri Ortodoks Gryka e Këlcyrës).

One of the most interesting things to visit in this region. The legend says that in ancient times, the people killed for "feuds" (see Blood Feud in Albania) were buried there.

It is a natural fresh water source found along the Gjirokastër-Tepelenë highway (SH4). The area features a rest area with a restaurant of traditional cuisine, and a bottling complex of the famous Uji Ali Pashë Tepelena company.
