Seeing Greece From Albania. Sunday Morning Photograph.

This part of northern Greece did not resemble the more familiar parts of the country.

I saw Greece from Albania while driving south on Highway SH75 on my way from stopping to admire the view of Vjosa River Bend to my eventual destination of Ohrid in North Macedonia.

I wanted to drive the rental car over the bridge into Greece because at the time that the photographs in this article were taken, I had never been to Greece — but doing so would have violated the terms of the rental car contract.

I did visit Greece for the first time last year.

Final Boarding Call

Trivia time: The river that separates portions of Albania and Greece is called Vjosa in Albanian or Aoös in Greek.

The purpose of the weekly series of Sunday Morning Photograph articles is to feature photographs from my travels around the world which you can view while enjoying your morning coffee.
