Qeparo is a charming village which offers visitors a look at the beautiful stone architecture of the region, and the calm, relaxing, white sandy beaches that rest alongside the clear turquoise waters.

The village is home to the St. Demetrius Monastery and an interesting attraction for holidaymakers in Albania’s south to visit.

The religious site is described as a gem of the architecture and cultural heritage.

The St. Demetrius Monastery, and the adjacent church bearing the same name, is located on a square in the lower quarter of Qeparo and was built in 1730.

The monastery is built within an ensemble, where the school and church staff building is also located.

The wooden iconostasis, featuring angel images and acanthus leaves of the church, represents a cultural asset of the village.
