Southern Albania

Southern Albania is one of the three NUTS-2 regions of the country. It consists of five counties, Berat, Fier, Gjirokastër, Korçë and Vlorë, and four ethnographic regions traditionally make it up.

Its lakes are mostly coastal: Narta Lagoon, with its monastery on Zvërnec island, Butrint Lagoon beside the ancient site of Butrint, and smaller lakes in Butrint National Park.
