A lakeside town on the Albanian shore of Lake Ohrid — clean water, slow evenings, and the freshwater Koran trout.
Pogradec sits on the western shore of Lake Ohrid, the deepest and one of the oldest lakes in Europe. The town's pace is set by the lake — fishermen at dawn, families on the lungomare at dusk, and tavernas serving Koran trout that's been on the menu for centuries.
It's 2h 30m from Tirana via the A3 motorway, makes a natural pairing with North Macedonia's side of Ohrid, and works as a quieter summer alternative to the Riviera.
