As the premier icon of the Albanian Riviera, Ksamil offers an unforgettable, picture-perfect coastal escape. There one finds a combination of natural landscape with cultural heritage, offering an experience that goes beyond traditional beach tourism. /m.q/j.p/p.s./

ATA is closely monitoring the site as construction begins on the shading structures designed by the renowned Bofill Taller de Arquitectura. These elements are set to redefine the coastal public space.

The ‘Taulantia’ promenade project embodies the signature style of Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, blending monumental geometric shapes with innovative concrete and steel construction.

The project enhances the area with new parks, lighting, and sports facilities, improving community well-being and tourism.

The promenade is being upgraded with dedicated pedestrian and bike lanes to create a more functional, visitor-friendly seafront.

Prime Minister Edi Rama, accompanied by Mayor of Durrës Emiriana Sako inspected the “Taulantia” promenade construction site today where work is advancing rapidly and according to schedule.

Installation has begun on the promenade for the new shade structures designed by the renowned Spanish firm Bofill Taller de Arquitectura.

Ricardo Bofill is a Spanish architect well-known for his bold and innovative designs that combine modern and postmodern styles.

The comprehensive promenade upgrade features green landscaping, modern lighting, dedicated sports facilities and enhanced recreational areas.

The bustling Durrës coastline boasts a modern promenade equipped with separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists, attracting numerous tourists every summer.

Durrës has emerged as a top-tier Mediterranean hotspot, with the tourism industry thriving due to increased international arrivals and a consistent influx of cruise passengers. /m.m/j.p/p.s./

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared today a view of the works, an important investment that serves citizens, but also the numerous tourists who spend their holidays on Durrës coast.

Rama emphasized that in addition to the promenade, the area of sand will also be expanded, creating more space available to holiday-makers.

The rehabilitation of Durrës beach promenade will be carried out by the Albanian Development Fund and will be financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

In addition to the works on the promenade, the project foresees the rehabilitation of 41 facades of buildings, built on the first line of the coast of this area. /m.m/a.f/p.s./

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared in the social media photos from the works for implementation of this project.

This project, which reflects the commitment to sustainable and nature-friendly development, integrates sustainable tourism in harmony with the conservation rules of this natural park.

Drilon-Tushemisht is located in a small geographical space, where some of the pearls of Albanian nature are beautifully intertwined, such as: the Drilon springs, Lake Pogradec, characteristic houses of the area, narrow passageways and picturesque landscapes, which create a wonderful oasis with numerous opportunities for the development of tourism in the area.

This project allows visitors not only to walk along the Drilon promenade, but also, through mainly pedestrian paths to reach the Drilon springs and Tushemisht. Every intervention has been carried out with environmentally friendly methods, protecting biodiversity. /a.f/r.e/p.s./

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared today in the social media moments from the addition of greenery along the beach promenade in Durrës, where there have been planted 110 stone pines, Pinus Pinea.

The prime minister wrote that the process of extending the greenery along this promenade will continue with trees and other decorative bushes.

The Ministry of Tourism and Environment has declared 2024 the year of forests and in this context there has been drawn up a calendar of activities that are expected to bring an important contribution to nature, not only in planting actions, but also in awareness of the people./m.m/p.s./

PM Edi Rama wrote in the social media that, “With the first phase of Durrës beach revival project, a part of the new promenade is already ready for the tourist season.”

The promenade on the coastline of Durrës, one of the most frequented tourist areas during the summer by local and foreign holiday-makers, has lanes dedicated to pedestrians and bicycles.

This investment includes the construction of a three-kilometer promenade along the entire length of the beach, with increased greenery, parks and sports spaces to provide a much-needed connection from the Dajlani Bridge to the Convalescent rest home.

Between the promenade and the beach area, there will be stations with sports equipment for outdoor physical activities, as well as areas for practicing water sports.

The investment project foresees that along the promenade there will be areas dedicated to children, spaces for the beach part, beach stations, service spaces, as well as the reconstruction of the buildings’ facades.

Based on the model already created in Vlora, the Lungomare of Durrës is a project that envisages to reconceive this area in accordance with the ever-growing demands of tourists, but also to give a new economic impact to the businesses that operate there./p.s./

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared photos from this promenade today in social media, while highlighting the works of art placed along it.

“With this piece of art in the reborn promenade of the city of Saranda, I wish you a nice weekend”, he wrote.

Thanks to the investments made, the promenade of this city is substantially transformed. Following the transformation of the promenade, the businesses along it have also gained a lot, as the value of the property has increased, too.

The “Naim Frashëri” promenade is a multifunctional public space at the service of the local residents and holidaymakers during the tourist season.

The promenade is dominated by elements that preserve the identity of the city, such as the entrance gate of Onhezmi, sculptures made by local artists, the fountain square, existing trees and green areas, open swimming pool, etc. /m.m/p.s./

The Naim Frasheri promenade is the hub for the city’s vibrant social and tourist culture.

For residents and tourists alike, the promenade serves up unforgettable views and beautiful memories of days by the sea.

But over the years, the promenade’s outdated infrastructure was failing.

Dim lightning at night, crumbling, narrow walkways and small, difficult to access beaches prevent residents and tourists alike from fully enjoying this historic and beautiful space.

The government of Albania sought help from the World Bank for its reconstruction. The World Bank is a good partner for this project.

Ramis Husi –Deputy mayor of Saranda municipality said that, “they financed the reconstruction of the iconic stone steps back in 2018, which really work well for our city.”

Both projects combine modern functionality with design that honors our city’s unique architecture. The new promenade has further highlighted the city stone steps.

The new promenade offers many improvements. It’s space doubled. The Panoramic Balcony which overlooks the coast and provides the beach access from the eastern coast has been added.

The quayside currently home to fishermen boats has been rehabilitated. Other improvements include a new public pool, public beaches equipped with facilities such as showers and restrooms, brighter lightning, a surfaced sidewalk, and a dedicated bicycle lane.

Arben Cipa- Sipa Tour Travel Agency said that, “the promenade integrates elements that improve the urban landscape, facilitate mobility, provide information to tourists, and create space for activities and celebrations, without compromising the identity and historical-cultural monuments of the city. Centrali restaurant owned by Vladimir Musei is one of the many businesses that operates along the promenade.”

Vladimir Musei- owner of Centrali restaurant said that,” the promenade is very precious for Saranda. It has brought positivity to Saranda so much needed for the tourism and at this time.”

The economy of the city as well as that of Albania depends a lot on the tourism industry. The new promenade will make it possible for Saranda to develop its tourism potential even more in the future.
