Germenj – Leskovik – Benja – Permet

Begin with a climb of around 150 m before following the winding road towards Leskovik. Beyond the town, descend into the Vjosa Valley and continue through Çarshovë towards Petran.

Riverside cafés and restaurants provide possible stops along the route. From Petran, an optional detour leads to the warm pools at Benja, which remain at around 25°C and lie beneath an Ottoman stone bridge.

Finish in Përmet beside the Vjosa River. The day combines a short initial climb with a long descent and easier valley riding.
