Permet is a very different feel to other places we have been too in Albania, Permet is very laid back, different from Gjirokastër. Plenty of cafes/bars and a couple of nice restaurants. Not a lot to see and do but nice for a couple of days. People are friendly. The thermal baths were a disappointment if honest but it’s a nice place for a night or 2 especially if you like hiking or want to climb up the big rock in the centre of town! 😃

If you love the outdoors, this would be a great destination! There is hiking, mountain, bike, trails, and rafting tours available in the river. Probably the most outdoorsy town we visited in Albania on our trip. Unfortunately, we only had half of one day and half of another, so I would’ve loved to stay for a few more days and explore the area a bit more. It was extremely walkable and the restaurants were very affordable.

Permet is a nice town surrounded by nature beauties like mountains and river. The city is very clean and you can make walks in the evening. The nature of permit is spectacular. You can choose to visit Frasher village ,Berdhi I Hotoves national park ,Benja Therms , Langarica Canyon as well the mountain ranges around are so nice opportunity for hikers

Lovely friendly city (felt more like a town) with a good choice of places to eat quality food at bargain prices. The thermal springs are a must do, but I recommend getting there early to avoid any crowds. I had the pool to myself. Just me, the warm water and snowcapped mountains in the distance. Not many other tourists around, but all the infrastructure you need is here.

Small town at the Vjosa river. Climb the "Guri i Qytetit" rock for a great view of the town. Eat at “Te Culi” restaurant in the city center. Lovely family restaurant with local dishes to very affordable prices. Great town for going rafting on Vjosa and discovering the region, e.g. canyoning/walking in Langarica canyon with its natural springs.
