Karaburun Peninsula

The Karaburun Peninsula is a peninsula of the Mediterranean Sea located in Southern and Southeastern Europe, which is almost completely surrounded by both the Adriatic Sea to the north and the Ionian Sea to the south. It is located in Southwestern Albania along the Albanian Ionian Sea Coast, whereas the Strait of Otranto separates it from Italy. The Strait of Mezokanal dissociates the peninsula from Sazan Island, while in the southeast stretches the Bay of Vlorë.

In terms of geology, the Rrëza e Kanalit on the peninsula represent the continuation of the Acroceraunian Mountains, which is the highest and most extensive mountain range system that extends parallel to the Ionian Sea. Created during the mesozoic era of the cretaceous and paleogene period, the crests of the mountain range form a northwest-southeast line with a series of distinct peaks along its irregular structure that are broken apart by steep and unequally slopes. The highest peaks are namely, the Maja Çaderës, Maja e Flamurit, Maja e Koretës and Maja e Ilqes.
