Divjakë-Karavasta National Park

The park extends over 222 square kilometers along the Adriatic Sea, containing wetlands, salt marshes, coastal meadows, floodplains, and Mediterranean pine forests.

The protected area status began in 1966 with strict reserves, followed by Ramsar site designation in 1994, and national park establishment in 2007.

Local communities practice traditional agriculture, growing vegetables and cereals, while maintaining fishing activities in designated areas of the Karavasta Lagoon.

Visitors can explore marked hiking trails around Vahu Canal and Godulla e Pishës Lagoon, with guidance available at the park information center.

The Karavasta Lagoon hosts five percent of the global Dalmatian pelican population, making it a critical conservation site for this endangered species.
