Viroi Lake

With its dense and lush vegetation, calm lake surface, and scenic landscape shimmering under the southern Albanian sun, Viroi Lake is a place that can seem almost unreal. the water’s crystal-like clarity allows visitors to enjoy the scenery without the need of submerging beneath the waters. It is also worth noting however, that during excessively hot summers, the lake water level lowers and, in some cases, has been known to dry up completely.
