Introduction to Narta, Albania
Narta is a coastal town in the state of Vlora in southwestern Albania, situated on the Adriatic coast by the Narta Lagoon, about 10 kilometers from the city of Vlora. The area is known for its vast salt flats, rich wetland ecology and ancient historical monuments.
Natural and ecological features
Nalta Lagoon is the second largest lagoon in Albania, covering an area of about 42 square kilometers, and is classified as an Important Bird Sanctuary. It is home to more than 200 species of birds, including migratory species such as flamingos and spoonbills. The salt fields around the lagoon are still used in the traditional salt production process, creating a unique silvery-white landscape.
History, Culture and Tourism
The town retains the ruins of the 13th century St. Mary's Church and Ottoman-era buildings. The nearby "Zvërnec Island" is connected to the mainland by a wooden bridge and is home to a Byzantine monastery. Visitors can experience bird-watching, salt-field tours and boating in the lagoon, as well as sample local seafood specialties.
Transportation and Economy
Nalta is located close to the Adriatic Coastal Highway and only 15 kilometers from Vlora Airport. The economy is based on salt, fishing and tourism, and in recent years it has evolved into an eco-tourism destination, with its underdeveloped beaches attracting tourists looking for a peaceful vacation.
