Imagine a place where nature and culture meet in harmony. A place where you can admire the diversity of birds, fish, and plants. A place where you can taste the freshness of the sea and the land. Welcome to Karavasta Lagoon, the largest and most beautiful lagoon in Albania.

Karavasta Lagoon is home to the curly (Dalmatian) pelican, an endangered species that nests here. You can also see flamingos, herons, egrets, and many other water birds that live in this wetland. The lagoon is rich in fish, such as mullets and eels, that are caught by local fishermen using traditional methods. You can enjoy these local delicacies at the nearby restaurants, along with other dishes made with organic products from the local town of Divjake.
