What To Expect
Ah, the beautiful Vjosa River—one of the last wild rivers in Europe! Where it flows: The Vjosa runs for about 270 km, starting in Greece (where it’s called the Aoös) and winding its way through southern Albania before pouring into the Adriatic Sea near Vlorë. It passes near places like Përmet, Tepelenë, and close to Gjirokastra, so it’s a perfect addition to your tour! Why it’s special: The Vjosa is untamed—no major dams, no concrete walls. Just crystal-clear water rushing through canyons, meandering across wide plains, and shaping an ever-changing landscape. It’s home to over 1,100 species and has become a symbol for eco-activism in Albania and Europe.
Permet
Përmet, a charming town in southern Albania nestled along the Vjosa River. Known as the “City of Roses,” Përmet is celebrated for its natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality.

5.00They explained everything clearly and kept the atmosphere fun and relaxed. The rafting itself was exciting but not too extreme, making it perfect for beginners and families as well. We also had time to stop, swim, take photos, and really enjoy the surroundings. It was not just an adrenaline activity, but also a peaceful way to connect with nature.

5.00This private tour to Përmet and rafting on the Vjosa River was an unforgettable experience! The journey through the scenic mountains was beautiful, and Përmet itself is a charming town with a warm local vibe. The highlight was definitely rafting on the Vjosa—Europe’s last wild river.
