A few kilometers on the north of Vlore is located the second biggest lagoon in Albania. It is called Narta, and it is well known for its production of salt.
When you are driving from Fier to Vlora you will observe on left side of the road big mountains of sand, they are really salt of the Narta lagoon.
Additionally there is a great biodiversity of plants and animals on the lagoon.
On the 13 century it was constructed a Byzantine church in a small island in the middle of Narta lagoon. With the time the church was converted into a Monastery, and nowadays Zvernec island is a mistery place really worthy a midday visit.
There is a beatiful wooden bridge that joins the Albania land with the island.
