Erseke

One of the highest towns in Albania, Erseka sits at elevation in the Gramос mountain foothills of the country's southeast, serving as the seat of Kolonjë municipality. Founded in the 17th century, the pocket-sized town has a central core with cafés and restaurants, and the surrounding highland terrain makes it a base for those drawn to the Gramос range.
