Choosing between them

Korçë is the more interesting town and works in every season. It is the cultural centre of the south-east and the base for Voskopojë and Dardhë.

Pogradec is about the lake — swimming, the Drilon springs, the mosaics at Lin, and the crossing into North Macedonia.

They are 40 km apart. Base in Korçë and take a day at the lake.
