Gjurma is a relatively new addition to Vlora’s dining scene, and on my first visit in April 2025, it quickly became one of my favorite seafood restaurants in all of Albania.

Located close to Uji i Ftohtë just a 15-minute walk from Vlora's lungomare, Gjurma offers a sea view with delicious seafood. The menu leans heavily into seafood, combining simple, high-quality flavors with a clean, modern presentation. It’s a great place to enjoy a slow lunch or dinner while soaking in this area of Vlora, which is itself a great destination.

Service is friendly and professional, and while the prices are in the mid to high range, the quality of the food and overall experience make it worthwhile.

Recommendation: Try the seafood rigatoni: it’s rich, flavorful, and cooked just right.

If you're in Vlora and looking for a well-executed seafood meal in a nice setting, Gjurma is definitely worth a visit.
