Local know-how
What to know before you drive in Llogara Pass
Fuel: Dukat and Palasë
Stations exist in Dukat (before the climb) and Palasë (after the descent). Between them — nothing.
Don’t cross at night without experience
No street lighting on most of the route. Only experienced mountain drivers should tackle it after dark — aim to reach Dhermi before sunset.
The right car for the trip
We recommend: Sedan
A mid-size sedan or hatchback with a 1.5–2.0 L engine is optimal: enough power for the climb, good control on the descent, sensible fuel use for the full Riviera loop.
Parking: Free parking at the Cesar national park area. The panoramic restaurant offers free parking for diners.
