The delta is vegetative and spills in two beach apertures and limestone extensions that smoothes into the sea. Beaches are beautiful and conventional with white mid thick sands mixed within small calcareous stones. Under the sea, a wide range of marine species inhabit the complex branched torrents and streams. Karaburun Peninsula is one of the best preserved parks not only in Albania but also in the Mediterranean. Serving as a military base during communism, this area was safeguarded from human activity. There you can find a lot of natural caves which can be reached and explored only by boat. Experience diving in the natural marine park and you will leave with unforgettable memories. While on shore, Karaburun peninsula offers vast opportunities for hiking in the middle of the nature and enjoying the alluring view of the Adriatic and Ionian Sea.
