Paragliding

Tandem paragliding from the Llogara Pass

Take off from the mountains by the Llogara Pass, about a thousand metres up, and glide down towards the Ionian coast — the Riviera alternative to the bay flight.

South of Vlora the road climbs to the Llogara Pass (1,027 m) before dropping to the Riviera. Tandem pilots also fly from these slopes, with the Ionian coast laid out below instead of the bay. Booking sites list Llogara flights from operators who also fly over Vlora.

Mountain flying depends even more on the wind than flights over the bay, and pilots cancel or move flights at short notice. Treat the day as weather-dependent, ask what happens if your slot is cancelled, and let the pilot decide. Vlora.live gives no flight-safety assessment.
