Oricum (Orikos)

Oricum is located to the right of the Vlora-Saranda national road and 42 km south of the Greek colony of Apollonia.

Its geographical position made it an important harbor on the Adriatic coast. Oricum was used by the Romans in ancient times as a defensive base in the wars against the Illyrians as well as in the 3rd century B.C. against the Macedonians, who in fact occupied it in 214 B.C.

Albania moves towards legalizing recreational marijuana

Prime Minister Edi Rama said the government intends to pass the law on the legalization of medical cannabis during this parliamentary session that will close in the summer.

We are in time to approve it by this parliamentary session," said the Prime Minister.
