Pocket-sized town in southern Albania where the Vjosë river cuts through a dramatic gorge, Këlcyrë sits between the Trebeshina and Nemërçka mountain ranges. The Këlcyrë Gorge, formed by the Vjosë, is the town's defining natural feature, and a tiny central core offers cafés and restaurants for visitors passing through this mountainous stretch of the Gjirokastër region.
