Nivan is a secluded village in the mountains of Përmet, where time seems to stand still. Visitors can wander along narrow lanes lined with traditional stone houses and dry-stone walls, surrounded by terraced fields and chestnut forests. The village offers a rare window into the rhythms of rural Albanian life, with shepherds tending flocks and locals practicing age-old crafts. It’s an ideal destination for hikers seeking solitude and cultural immersion away from modern tourism.
