    Our last stop in Albania: Përmet. Greece just banned wild camping this year, so we made the most of our last days of Albanian camping freedom and found Otto some beautiful spots! 🚐

    We went climbing with a view on the Vjosa river, Europe's last wild river (it flows freely without any dams or power stations) 🌊. The river is famous for rafting, but as it didn't look that impressive (summer = low water levels), we decided to look for adventure elsewhere.

    We found it at the impressive nearby Langarica Canyon! We started early to have this dramatic gorge and its thermal pools to ourselves, waded about 5 km between walls that sometimes narrowed to just 3 meters 😮, scrambled out and hiked back via the northern ridge. 🏞️

    To wrap up our one month in Albania, we went for a last local lunch in one of Permet's farm-to-table restaurants 🥗.    Read more
