Korça sights
Though small, Korça has a fantastic range of sights in and just outside its city limits.Boulevard Republika is a good street for a stroll, and on summer evening you'll be joined by hundreds of locals doing their xhiro promenade when the street is closed off for traffic. It's lined by old villas with decorative metal railings, flower gardens and fragrant linden trees.
Do take the time to explore the old streets away from the modern boulevards - you can find typical old cobbled streets between Blv. Gjergi Kastrioti and Blv. Republika, though the prettiest streets are directly behind the cathedral.
