Përmet is one of Albania's most beloved small towns, a picturesque place of stone bridges, rose gardens, and excellent wine in the Vjosë valley surrounded by forested mountains. The town is famous throughout Albania for its roses — the surrounding hillsides are cultivated for rose attar used in perfumery and cosmetics — and for its syrup-soaked pastries and the local raki distilled from figs, plums, and mulberries. The Bënçë hot springs near the town, where thermal water pours into natural rock pools above the Lengarica canyon, are among the most enjoyable natural bathing spots in the Balkans.
Përmet's position near the Greek border and the Vjosë National Park makes it an ideal base for exploring the wild landscapes of southern Albania's interior. The Nemërcka range rises to the south, offering walking routes to alpine lakes and remote villages where traditional crafts and pastoral life continue. The Lengarica canyon — accessible by a short walk from the hot springs — is a dramatic limestone gorge with swimming holes. Many Albanians consider Përmet the most beautiful small city in the country, and the summer festival of polyphonic folk music here is one of the most authentic expressions of the UNESCO-recognised Albanian iso-polyphony tradition.
