The surrounding of Lukova, Sasaj, Piqeras and Borshi

This fragment of the Albanian Riviera constitutes one of the rarest pearls of the Albania coast, even of the whole Ionian and Adriatic coast. Deep blue, crystal-clear and sparkling sea water. A high coast covered with vegetation and decorated with human-made terraces planted with citrus and olive trees.

The background is made complete with the high tops of Levan, Picolla, Gostilie and Shendellia. The shores meet the hilltops by means of a ribbon of fine amber sand, which is permeated by the outlets of the springs and streams rushing down the slopes into the sea. These are real bio-climatic oases of subtropical and tropical features, which will serve as a basis for future tourist development. It is worth mention­ing the beaches of Bunec in Piqeras and others extending from Lukova to Sasaj. If you go farther as you pass the hilltops of Piqeras, the plain of Borshi stretches like a Californian panoramic view with the citrus and olive plantations, the spring waters flowing down the mountain slopes and a beach about 3.2 km long - all framed in one single tableau where the sea, the beach, the hilltops and the mountain peaks make a whole. This area is the warmest spot in our country.

Solar radiation reaches . high figures about 1495 kWh/m2 because of the large number of sunny days. The water temperature in summer is about 25 degrees Celsius; however, suitable temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius for swimming and sunbathing are registered from the first days of May to the end of October. Many rare trees grow in this area such as carob trees, wild cotton plants, sea fig trees, banana trees, etc. 5000 inhabitants live in these villages and their main occupations are arboriculture, livestock breeding, trade, etc. The castle of Borshi, which was built on a hill northwest of the village, is a monument of historic value.
