Vlorë (Greek: Aulón - Αυλών) is one of the oldest cities of Albania. It was founded by Ancient Greeks in the 6th century BC and named Aulón. Its name, still used today in Greece, means valley. It is the second largest port city of Albania, after Durrës, with a population of about 94,000 (2008 estimate). The city of Vlorë is at some distance from the port.
There are two large breakwaters perpendicular to the shoreline and at some large distance between them. This construct is the harbor.There were a number of craft, all moored side-to, on the two breakwaters in such a way that there is almost no space between them. These craft are mostly mothballed old ships plus one or two cargo ships, unloading, and a few pilot boats.

Caution: There can be some sunken craft in the harbor.
