Take the road running north in the direction of Tepelen\u00eb and turn right (at the Lekli Bridge), just before reaching Tepelen\u00eb. The road takes you over the large Dragot Bridge across the river.\u00a0 It is worth stopping to enjoy the view of the Vjos\u00eb Valley, one of pearls of the Albanian landscape. \u00a0Dragot Bridge was built by the Italians before World War II. \u00a0The village of Dragot is located on the hillside well above the bridge. \u00a0To continue to P\u00ebrmet take the next right.\u00a0 Before reaching P\u00ebrmet you have to cross the Gorge of K\u00eblcyr\u00eb, a deep-running canyon with lush vegetation.<\/p>\n
Following the gorge is the town of K\u00eblcyr\u00eb, a small town with a rich history, and famous for its wine production and fruit processing. The ruined palace of the Beys of K\u00eblcyr\u00eb, who once ruled the province, overlooks the town.<\/p>\n
Once in P\u00ebrmet town you cannot fail to notice a gigantic rock rising up from the shores of the Vjos\u00eb River. Forty-eight meters high, it leaves the impression of being placed there on purpose, perhaps by the hand of a giant. \u00a0A stroll around the old quarter of the town is a rewarding experience as it is a lunch by the Vjos\u00eb River!\u00a0 P\u00ebrmet is well-known across Albania for its hospitality and excellent cooking.\u00a0 Other attractions are the 12th-century Church of St. Mary of Kosin\u00eb and 18th-century church of Leus\u00eb. \u00a0P\u00ebrmet counts fifteen other churches, and four mosques.<\/p>\n
