Vlorë occupies an eminence near the Bay of Vlorë, an inlet of the facing the Adriatic Sea, almost surrounded by mountains. The port of Vlorë is the closest in proximity to the port of Bari, Italy and is just 130 km from Salento’s coasts. The island of Sazan is in close proximity to the city, strategically located at the entrance to the Bay of Vlorë.The town has rather a pleasant appearance, surrounded with gardens and olive groves. Valonia, a material largely used by tanners, is the pericarp of an acorn obtained in the neighboring oak forests, and derives its name from Valona, the ancient name of Vlorë. Vlora is the city where Albanian independence from Ottomans was proclaimed on November 28th, 1912.
