List of lakes of Albania

Albania’s diverse landscape, shaped by favorable weather conditions, significant tectonic subsidence, karst processes and coastal dynamics, is home to a wide array of natural and artificial lakes.

Lakes are generally categorized based on the origin of their basins, a factor that fundamentally alters their geographical characteristics.

The country hosts 247 natural lakes and over 800 artificial reservoirs.

Natural lakes, primarily formed through karstic or glacial processes,[2] are further classified into four types: 4 tectonic, 134 proglacial, 94 karst and 15 oxbow.

Additionally, the coastal region features lagoons that collectively cover an area of approximately 150 km2 (58 sq mi).
