Albania’s fertile coastal plains are located in the western part of the country, stretching along the Adriatic Sea coast. These lowlands extend for nearly 125 miles (200 km) and penetrate approximately 30 miles (50 km) into the interior.12
This region serves as the country's most important agricultural and industrial hub, as well as its most densely populated area. The plains are drained by several major rivers, including the Seman, Shkumbin, and Vjosë.123
