Book Përmet → Tirana →Përmet sits on the banks of the Vjosa — one of the last wild rivers in Europe — in the green mountains of southern Albania. It's a quiet, walkable town known for its roses, its gliko (spoon-sweet fruit preserves), rakia, and above all as the base for the Bënjë thermal baths beneath an Ottoman stone bridge and the Langarica canyon just upstream. From Tirana it's 232 km south via Fier and Tepelenë — about three hours fifty.
Përmet rewards travellers who want nature and calm over crowds — thermal springs, river swimming, hiking and some of the best traditional food in the country. It pairs with Gjirokastër (an hour or so south-west) and the Vjosa valley villages. If you want to combine them, tell us and we'll quote a multi-stop day or a through-transfer. Door-to-door means we drop at your hotel or guesthouse, not a bus stop.

"A long, beautiful drive up the Vjosa valley to Përmet. The driver took us straight to the Bënjë thermal baths before dropping at our guesthouse. A hidden gem, and much easier to reach with a private car."
"We wanted to see the wild Vjosa and Përmet did not disappoint. Comfortable transfer from Tirana, friendly driver who knew the canyon and the baths. Far better than piecing together buses."
