Permet, The City of Roses
Laying in the Vjosa (vee-o-sah) river valley and by Dhëmbeli
mountain stands the city of Permet. Burned twice by the Nazi occupations,
the city has very few old sites. The church of Leusa is a must visit for
all the visitors with a two hundred years of history and beautifully painted
icons. The city of
This town is the birthplace of some of the most important patriots
of Albania. The Frasheri brothers played a key role in the renaissance
period with their publications and national awakening campaign.
Permet was also symbol to the communist era because it was there that
the Socialist Republic was declared in May 24, 1942.
One interesting site is the "Rock of the City" which stands between
the river and the main city loop highway.
If you like hiking and hunting, Dhembeli mountain is the perfect place
to go. Don't forget to take a dive in the cold refreshing waters of Vjosa.
For great food visit the "Kupola" restaurant on the northern side of
the river.
