Asked by albaniatravelin on 3/29/2026 • 796 views
There are a few ways to travel from Berat to Përmet, but it’s very important to choose the correct route.
🚫 Do not fully rely on Google Maps.
It often suggests the route:
👉 Berat → Poliçan → Çorovodë → Përmet (via Osum Canyon)
You can drive easily until Osum Canyon, but from that point toward Përmet the road is not passable for normal cars:
• Large holes
• Rough terrain
• Suitable only for 4x4 vehicles
