Permet
Modest town in southeastern Albania on the Vjosa river, Përmet sits between the Trebeshinë and Dhëmbel mountains and is known for its folk music, its clarinetist tradition associated with Laver Bariu, and a local food culture built around sweets called gliko, good wine, and raki. The town has a real café and restaurant scene for its size, and the Vjosa valley stretching toward Tepelenë offers accessible mountain and riverside terrain.
