Grama Bay rock inscriptions

The Grama Bay rock inscriptions in Albania are approximately fifteen hundred inscriptions dating from the 3rd century and later.

The Grama Bay rock inscriptions (Albanian: mbishkrimet shkëmbore në Gjirin e Gramës), comprising approximately fifteen hundred inscriptions carved on rocks, form an archaeological ensemble dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 15th–16th centuries. This collection is located in Southwest Albania, in Vlora County, along the southwestern slope of the Rrëza e Kanalit mountain range, on the coastline of the Ionian Sea in the Grama or Gramai Bay (Gjiri i Gramës). Today, the bay has a popular, easily accessible beach spanning only about 100 meters, reachable by boat. The name of the bay has Greek origins and traces back to the word “gramma” / γράμμα, meaning ‘letter,’ referring to the inscriptions.
