The Albanian Riviera (Alb. Riviera shqiptare) is the name of a stretch of steep coastline in southwestern Albania. The Riviera is located on the Ionian Sea north of Saranda and ends at the Logara Pass (1027 m) south of Vlora, where the Adriatic Sea begins. Albanians often refer to the Riviera simply as Bregu (Alb. Bregu - "Coast"). The Riviera is bounded on the back by the Akrokeroun Mountains.
