Karavasta lagoon is a must visit destination. Karavasta Lagoon (Albanian: Laguna e Karavastasë) is the largest lagoon in Albania and one of the largest in the Mediterranean Sea, spanning an area of 42 km2 (16 sq mi). Karavasta is part of the Divjakë Karavasta National Park and is separated from the Adriatic Sea by a large strip of sand. It sprawls across the Myzeqe coastal plain near Divjakë and some 20 km (12 mi) near Lushnjë.

Karavasta hosts many pine trees and small sandy islands. It is renowned for hosting the Dalmatian pelican; 6.4% of the Europe's population of the Dalmatian pelican is found in Karavasta.4[6] The lagoon falls within the Illyrian deciduous forests terrestrial ecoregion of the Palearctic Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub. The climate is typically mediterranean.

The lagoon is located inside the boundaries of Divjaka-Karavasta National Park and has been recognised as a wetland of international importance by designation under the Ramsar Convention. The lagoon has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International, because it supports significant numbers of the populations of various bird species.[7]

The Karavasta Lagoon is within the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance[8] and is part of the Divjake-Karavasta National Park.

Since disinfection campaigns have long been halted, the area is known to have a very active mosquito season. However, in 2014, disinfection campaigns have started and a park rehabilitation project has been initiated by the national authorities. It included a hunting moratorium which revived...

Laguna e Karavastasë është një nga peizazhet më të bukura dhe më të rëndësishme natyrore të Shqipërisë, duke ofruar një ekosistem të pasur dhe diversitet biologjik të jashtëzakonshëm. Ajo ndodhet në bregdetin perëndimor të vendit, në jug të qytetit të Durrësit, dhe përfshin një sipërfaqe të madhe prej rreth 42 km². Laguna është një zonë tërheqëse si për natyralistët, ashtu edhe për turistët, për shkak të biodiversitetit të saj, sidomos për popullatën e pelikanëve, që e ka bërë atë një destinacion të rëndësishëm për vëzhguesit e zogjve.

Laguna ka ujëra të cekëta dhe shpesh përmbyllet nga një mori kanalesh dhe ishuj të vegjël, të cilat krijojnë një mjedis të përshtatshëm për një gamë të gjerë florë dhe faune. Mbi të gjitha, ajo është e njohur për habitatin e saj për pelikanin e bardhë, që është një specie e rrezikuar dhe që ndodhet vetëm në disa laguna të Mesdheut. Në këtë lagunë mund të vëzhgohen edhe shumë lloje të tjera zogjsh, si kormorani, shqiponja dhe shumë shpendë të tjerë migratorë.

Përveç rëndësisë ekologjike, Laguna e Karavastasë ofron mundësi për aktivitete të ndryshme turistike, si ecje, vëzhgime të zogjve dhe udhëtime me varkë për të shijuar natyrën e saj të paprekur. Në këtë mjedis të qetë, vizitorët mund të shijojnë peizazhe mahnitëse të dunes dhe plazhit të saj të gjërë, si dhe të eksplorejnë pyjet dhe shkurret përreth lagunës.

Karavasta është gjithashtu një zonë me vlera kulturore dhe historike, duke u afruar me fshatrat përreth dhe duke ofruar mundësi për të mësuar më shumë rreth traditave dhe jetës së përditshme të...

Het is een prachtige park . Ongelooflijk mooi begroeiing . Van de eerste pakeerplaats met heel veel precisie vlonders aangelegd om boven het moeras te kunnen lopen maar dit loop 3m van de autoweg . Jammer! Het bezoekerscentrum bij de grote uitkijk toren is mooi en informatief. Daar vandaan wilden we via het bos naar het strand lopen maar dat kan helemaal niet . Je loopt dan op de autoweg die op bepaalde bochten heel gevaarlijk ia en helemaal niet leuk . Dichterbij het strand zijn er heel veel hotels en restaurants en het begint meer op een pretpark te lijken dan op een beschermd natuurgebied . Terug weg is het ons gelukt om naar een verder op staand uitkijk toren te lopen via wat stille wandelpad maar ons groot verdriet was het hele gebied vol met afval : plastic flessen , zakken,ballonnen , en enorm stinkende overvolle conteners . Het is sonde dat een unik natuurgebied zo...
