Starting from Vlora, to the Dhërmi and Palasa areas," said Reinaldo Pipiria, executive director of the Real Estate Association.

Durrës, towards Shëngjin, Velipoja, are somewhere around 1700 to 2000 euros. The Vlora area has many alternatives that are less than 2500 euros per m2.", explained Pipiria.
