Lukovë is one of the most easy on the eye villages on the Albanian Riviera, spectacularly perched on a hillside plateau overlooking the Ionian Sea. The village is renowned for its lush terraced gardens, where lemons and olives have been cultivated for centuries, cascading down toward the turquoise waters. Lukovë retains an authentic, nearly timeless feel with its narrow alleys and traditional stone houses. A significant landmark is the historic Church of Saint Mary, which stands watch over the settlement. Below the village lie pristine pebble beaches, such as Shpella Beach, accessible via winding scenic paths. On clear days, Lukovë gives panoramic panoramic views of the neighboring Greek island of Corfu, making it one of the most enchanting spots along the southern Albanian coast.
