The southern Albanian territory gathers many orographic and territorial conditions and the relationship between water, landforms and urban forms. The city of Saranda, the neighbor small settlements, the Vrina Plain, the hills, the mountains, the sea and the lagoon are realities that coexist in a single stretch of territory that develops along 23 km. This paper aims to illustrate the method of inperpretation of the relationship between different landscapes describing the forms of water, the landforms and the urban forms. The analysis phase is followed by a planning part dedicated to the formal definition of the project. It intends to create a settlement pattern, which develops all along the main crest and measures the entire zone, through a path, linking the urban areas, the natural elements and the historical and architectural heritage.
