Driloni river

The Driloni river originates from underground springs and forms a freshwater system in the southeastern region of Albania near Korçë. The waterway flows through varied terrain and is fed by several tributaries from the surrounding landscape.

The river area formed through geological processes that connected underground karst systems to the surface. During the 20th century, the location gained national attention due to its connection to political figures of that era.

The river serves as a gathering place where locals practice traditional fishing and participate in community activities throughout the year. The banks remain an important social hub for people living in the surrounding area.

The river can be accessed from multiple points along its course, with boat rentals typically available during the warmer months from April through October. The best times to visit are mid-year months when weather is stable and water conditions are most pleasant.

The water maintains a steady temperature throughout the year because it originates from underground springs, supporting fish species adapted to these conditions. This constant warmth creates an environment that few rivers in the region can match.
