The day starts along the Bay of Vlorë, with flat coastal kilometres via Orikum and Radhimë. Then the route turns serious: the climb to Llogara Pass winds through pine forest, switchbacks and open slopes to more than 1,000 metres. From the top, the view stretches across the Karaburun Peninsula and down to the Ionian coast. A long descent brings back sea, cliffs and steep hillside villages. Via Dhërmi and Vuno, the road follows the coast all the way to Himarë.
