In 2009, the region gained international attention after the reconstruction of the coastal road SH8, DJ Tiesto's tour stop in Dhermi and the filming of a Top Gear episode featuring a breath-taking car pursuit along the winding coastal road. and Bon Jovi's and Roger Taylor's holiday stops along the coast.



The area is a major nightlife, ecotourist, and elite retreat destination in Albania. The region features traditional Mediterranean villages, ancient castles, and Orthodox churches. In fact, the landscape alternates between mountain passes, turquoise beaches, underwater fauna, caves, and orange, lemon and olive plantations.
In 48 BC during his pursuit of Pompey, Julius Caesar set foot and rested his legion at Palase. He continued onto Llogara Pass in a place later named Caesar's Pass.
