Einfache Erklärung
Korçë is a city high in the south-east known for cafés, beer and music. Pogradec is a smaller town on the shore of Lake Ohrid, about 40 kilometres away.
How they differ
| Korçë | Pogradec | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | A plateau at about 850 m | The shore of Lake Ohrid at about 695 m |
| Draw | Cafés, the old bazaar, serenade tradition, the brewery | The lake, Drilon springs, Lin |
| Winter | Cold with regular snow; a winter destination | Cold; very quiet |
| Heritage | First Albanian school (1887), Voskopojë nearby | Lin basilica mosaics; prehistoric pile dwellings |
| Food | Lakror, fried qofte, the country's oldest brewery | Koran trout from the lake |
| Swimming | None | Lake swimming in summer |
| Size | The larger of the two | Smaller and more seasonal |
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.
