Vjosa

The second one in Top 10 Longest Rivers in Albania that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Vjosa. The Vjosa or Aoös is a river that flows through northwestern Greece and southwestern Albania and is the second longest river in Albania. It is approximately 272 kilometers (169 miles) long in total, with the first 80 kilometers (50 miles) in Greece and the remaining 192 kilometers (119 miles) in Albania. It has a drainage basin area of 6,706 km2 (2,589 sq mi) and an average discharge of 195 m3/s (6,900 cu ft/s). Voidomatis, Sarantaporos, Drino, and Shushicë are the major tributaries.

The river begins in the Pindus mountains of Epirus, Greece, and flows northwest. It flows into Albania near Çarshovë and empties into the Adriatic Sea north of Vlorë. The river is generally wild and unpolluted, and it is surrounded by Greece's Vikos–Aoös National Park and the Vjosa-Narta Protected Landscape near its mouth. The government designated the Albanian portion of the river as a "Managed Nature Reserve" in December 2020. Environmentalists are campaigning to make the entire Albanian section of the course a national park in order to protect it from potential hydroelectric projects.
