Llogara National Park

Llogara National Park spans from Mediterranean lowlands to alpine heights, with dense pine forests and dramatic vertical cliffs facing the Ionian Sea. Multiple marked trails wind through the park and connect to the Llogara Pass, offering different ways to explore the terrain.

The park was established in 1966 to protect the natural environment and support conservation efforts for the region. This decision marked an important commitment to safeguarding the area's ecological diversity.

Shepherds use designated areas of the park to graze their flocks, maintaining pastoral traditions that shape how the landscape looks and feels. These practices reflect the region's long connection between people and the land.

The park is accessible directly from the main coastal road, with several marked trails suitable for different fitness levels. Plan for changing weather conditions, as the elevation changes bring significant climate variations throughout the park.

The area is home to an impressive range of bird species, including mountain eagles that visitors often spot soaring above the higher elevations. The plant life transitions from typical Mediterranean species in lower areas to alpine plants found only at greater heights.
