Haxhi Ali Cave, Limestone cave in Karaburun Peninsula, Albania
The cave extends 100 meters into the limestone cliffs, featuring a curved lake and a main corridor measuring 60 meters long and 40 meters wide.
Named after Haxhi Aliu, an Albanian warrior from Ulcinj who used this natural formation as a refuge while fighting against pirate ships in the region.
Archaeological discoveries within the cave provide evidence of early human activities, with numerous artifacts indicating its use by ancient traders and travelers.
Access to the cave requires a boat tour from Vlora, as the location sits directly on the coastline of the Karaburun Peninsula at 60 meters above sea level.
The internal lake reaches a depth of 10.4 meters at its northeastern end, making it a notable geological formation along the Albanian coast.
