Berthing
There are two large breakwaters perpendicular to the shoreline and at some large distance between them. This construct is the harbour. 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 harbour.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
The only marina in Albania is Orikum.
