TIRANA, July 17 /ATA/ – Sarda, located around 15 km from the northern town of Vau i Dejes, also known as Shurdhah Island, is one of Albania’s most captivating historical and natural gem.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared Wednesday images of this island along the Drin River, the country’s longest river, as an amazing destination waiting to be explored.
The island’s formation was a result of the Vau i Dejës hydro-power plant, which created an artificial lake that engulfed the hill where the medieval city of Sarda once stood. As a result, the entire area became the enchanting island it is today.
Sarda island stretches across 393 meters and rises up to an elevation of 130 meters, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The island can be easily accessed from Rragam village, just 6 km away. Then you should take a boat to reach and explore the island.
The combination of historical and cultural significance, along with the natural beauty of the lake and hills bathed in the shimmering northern light, makes the island an unforgettable and must-see destination.
