Shkodra (also known as Shkodër) serves as the district center and is the capital of Northern Albania.

For hundreds and thousands of years, the inhabitants preserved with fanaticism the old tradition, revealing a beautiful and authentic pole. Social factors have influenced the tradition of vine cultivation and wine production. The geographical region extends to two areas of vine cultivation, the Shkodra-Lezha area, and the central hilly inland area, the Mirdita district, up to 600 m above sea level.

The landscape is characterized by the majestic Alps to the north, lowlands of Shkodra and the plain of Zadrima in the east, and surrounding foothills. Moving south, you’ll find the Mat Coast area with its center, Lezha. Other administrative areas in the region include Puka, Mirdita, and Kurbini. The Drini River, the largest river in Albania and the Western Balkans, flows through the plain, adding to the natural beauty and charm of the region.

The region is situated between the Adriatic Sea and the hinterland, bordered to the south by the Shkumbini River, to the west by mountain ranges with peaks reaching up to 1800 meters above sea level, and to the north by the Ishêm River. The landscape is characterized by the plains of Durrës along the coast, Tirana at an elevation of 110 meters above sea level, and the Elbasani plain in the scenic Shkumbini valley. The hilly relief, including Rodon-Vorë-Krrabë, also adds to the region’s diverse geography.

The mild geographical relief of the region provides optimal conditions for vine cultivation, with a rich history dating back to ancient times. Durrës and its hinterland have long been renowned for their vineyards. Additionally, Tirana, the capital city and district center, is conveniently located just 34 kilometers east of the Adriatic Sea, making it a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty of the region, from the coast to the mountains.

The Southern Region, boasts a wide outlet to the Ionian Sea with warm waters, giving it distinct Mediterranean features in terms of climate, hydrography, and vegetation. The region’s relief is characterized by mountain ranges, highlands, valleys, and the Delvina field. The largest valley in the region is the Vjose river valley, with gentle relief and small lots on both sides in the upper part, while the valley of Drinos, a branch of Vjosa, is known for its outstanding agricultural land. In the lower part of the region, the slope of the slopes narrows and increases.

The Delvine field, located in the southern part of the region, is formed by significant tectonic subsidence and continues to decrease, resulting in flat areas. The unique geographical position and diverse relief of the Southern Region contribute to its natural beauty and make it an area of interest for various agricultural and environmental activities.

The Southeastern region of Albania, located south of the Shkumbin valley and extending to Leskovik, is characterized by a diverse and rugged relief consisting of mountain pits, pits, and valleys, interwoven and interrupted by each other. The region has a significant vertical extension, with elevations ranging from 200 to 2523 meters above sea level.

The Southeastern region is positioned between two main mountain ranges, with the western range starting from the Mokra highlands and extending to Leskovik in the south. The north-to-south direction of the mountain ranges has a significant impact on the climate of this region. The Korça plateau, located at an altitude of about 850 meters above sea level, is the largest and one of the most important plateaus in the region and in Albania. Two other small fields, Perrenjasi at around 600 meters above sea level and Pogradeci south of Lake Ohrid at around 700 meters above sea level, also contribute to the diverse landscape of the Southeastern region.

The unique geography and varied relief of the Southeastern region make it an area of interest for nature enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and those interested in exploring the natural beauty and diverse landscapes of Albania.
