Visit Përmet by Camper

From Tirana, Përmet is about a 4 to 5-hour drive — but with a camper, the journey is half the fun. Take your time, stop in charming villages like Tepelenë, and cruise along the Vjosa River, one of Europe’s last wild rivers.

Tip from our team: Take the SH74 road for incredible views and less traffic. It’s a favorite among our travelers doing the southern Albania loop.

Things to Do in PërmetBenjë Thermal Baths

These natural thermal baths in Albania are located just outside Përmet. Picture steaming water, mountain views, and a centuries-old stone bridge nearby. It’s a must-see spot, and you can park your GoVan just a short walk away.

Langarica Canyon

Right next to the baths, this canyon is a great spot for hiking, swimming, or just relaxing in nature. It’s a peaceful, scenic area perfect for unwinding after a drive.

Eat and Drink Local

Përmet is known for its local food and hospitality. From slow-cooked meats and fresh cheese to homemade wine and rose jam, you’ll want to try everything. A stop at a local guesthouse for dinner is highly recommended.

Camper Van Camping in Southern Albania

One of the best parts of traveling by camper is choosing your own view. Near Përmet, you can wild camp by the river or stay in one of the small, friendly campgrounds nearby.

When you rent with GoVan, we’ll give you a custom list of our favorite camping spots across southern Albania, including a few off-the-radar gems.
