Çorovodë River Canyon, Berat, Albania, Europe
Overview
Just outside the town of Çorovodë in southern Albania, not far from Berat, the Çorovodë River Canyon cuts through the rock in sweeping cliffs and glittering water-a sight that takes your breath away.The canyon, with its sheer cliffs, glassy blue water, and untouched landscape, feels like a hidden gem where you can paddle through quiet coves one moment and scramble up rugged trails the next.Tucked into Albania’s Skrapar region, about 55 km southeast of Berat, the Çorovodë River Canyon greets visitors with sheer limestone cliffs that soar over 100 meters, narrow gorges, and the cool sparkle of turquoise water winding between them; carved by the Çorovodë River-a tributary of the Osum-it shelters caves like the vast Pirogoshi, rare plants, and eagles overhead, while offering hiking trails, swims in clear pools, easy kayaking, and endless photo-worthy views best enjoyed in spring’s lush green or summer’s warm light.Close to Berat and other sights, it’s an easy stop that leaves a lasting impression-like the warm glow of lanterns at dusk.You can hike the cliffs, wander through shadowy caves, or just breathe in the quiet air-this canyon has something for everyone.
