Key facts
Daylight in Vlorë runs from about 9 h 20 min a day in late December to 15 h 7 min in late June (computed for 40.47° latitude), which matters more than the forecast when a day is built around one flight or one crossing.
Getting there
No airport with scheduled passenger service sits within 100 km of Vlorë in the OurAirports register, so flying in means a longer transfer from the nearest served city.
