Approach to the village from the east

Adriatik ( Albanian  also  Adriatiku ) is a small village in Albania . It is located on a remote coastal strip of the Albanian Adriatic coast southwest of the lagoon of Karavasta (Albanian Laguna e Karavastasë ) in the Bashkia Divjaka . The name of the village is derived from the nearby sea.

The population is given as 35 families or households.

geography

Adriatic in the sandy area between the lagoon and the sea

The village lies on a flat strip of land between the Karavasta lagoon in the east, the smaller Godulla lagoon in the north, the Adriatic Sea in the west and the Seman River in the south. Immediately west of the settlement is an old branch of the Seman estuary. A wetland around one kilometer wide - an important bird breeding area - separates the oxbow lake from the beach and the open sea. In the east it is about one and a half kilometers to the Karavasta lagoon. Two kilometers to the south runs a canal to the sea that drains the great Myzeqe plain. Three to four kilometers further south, the Seman meanders through the plain towards the coast.

The fertile Myzeqe plain ends east of the Adriatic. Near the coast, the plain is sandy, dry and barren: the Adriatic - built on sand, so to speak - is surrounded by a desolate break landscape and salt fields.

The coastal strip with the village is part of the Divjaka-Karavasta National Park and the Ramsar reserve of the same name . The sandy shoreline that separates the Godulla lagoon from the sea is protected as a natural monument .

Adriatic is on the road 35 kilometers west of Lushnja . It is 25 kilometers to Divjaka at the opposite, northeastern end of the lagoon. The closest, larger villages are Karavasta (eight kilometers) and Remas (eleven kilometers) in the east.

history

The panel houses in the center of the village

The village of Adriatik was built as a place of residence for internees , politically persecuted , who for political reasons were often banished from their homeland by the communist regime with the whole family. The residents had to work on the dry plains and desalinate the fields. On maps from the 1980s and in documents from the 1990s, the village is still listed as sector № 2 .

After the collapse of communism, around 40 families from all over Albania moved to the village and took over the vacant apartments. The population was given for the mid-1990s as 670 people.

In 2013 the film Bota was shot in Adriatik .

Until 2015, Adriatik belonged to the Komuna Rremas , which then became part of the Bashkia Divjaka during a nationwide territorial reform .

In 2016, the Remas school with eleven students was closed.

Infrastructure

Adriatic with its four apartment buildings and the surrounding area

The Adriatic townscape is characterized by four four-story apartment buildings lined up next to each other. Next to it is the school and a former administration building. A few private houses and buildings used for agriculture are distributed around it. There are hardly any new buildings.

The road to Adriatic has meanwhile been paved; previously the villages in the region were considered very difficult to reach. The village was very remote.

The beach west of the village is hardly developed. There is a restaurant in summer.

The supply of fresh water repeatedly causes problems for the residents of the Adriatic.
