Mouth of Vlorë Bay
The island sits across the entrance to the bay, with channels on either side. From above it looks like a natural breakwater guarding the water and the city behind it.

Tabula
Sazan is Albania's largest island, but at around five square kilometres it fits easily on a single sheet at close scale. It lies just off the tip of the Karaburun Peninsula and closes much of the mouth of the Bay of Vlorë. On the map it reads as a plug of rock between the open sea and the sheltered water behind it.
The island is long and hilly, with steep shores on the seaward side and a few small coves facing the bay. There is no town and very little road, so a Sazan Island map poster is mostly coastline and contour. It shows a tight outline set against the broad curve of the Albanian coast and the long mountainous arm of Karaburun.
For much of the twentieth century Sazan was a closed military site. It sits near the Strait of Otranto, the narrow sea gap between Albania and the heel of Italy, and that position gave it strategic value in several periods. Today it is largely abandoned and visited mainly on boat trips from Vlorë. Its waters are part of a protected marine area.
The island sits across the entrance to the bay, with channels on either side. From above it looks like a natural breakwater guarding the water and the city behind it.
The long, rugged peninsula just south of the island forms the other side of the bay's entrance. Framing Sazan with Karaburun shows how closely the island follows the line of the mainland ridge.
The sea around Sazan and Karaburun belongs to Albania's first marine national park. On the map this shows as clean, unbroken water around an almost empty island.

Cur Sazan Island
Sazan appeals to people who know the Albanian Riviera, sailors who have rounded Karaburun, and anyone drawn to places with a closed past. It is a quiet, graphic subject: one island, one bay and the edge of a coastline, well suited to a minimal wall.
You can edit the title, subtitle and coordinates line to add a trip date or a boat's name. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Then download the HD files for $9 or order a printed poster from a print partner near you.
