The Karaburun Peninsula (

mesozoic era of the cretaceous and paleogene period, the crests of the mountain range form a northwest-southeast line with a series of distinct peaks along its irregular structure that are broken apart by steep and unequally slopes.[4]
The highest peaks are namely, the Maja Çaderës, Maja e Flamurit, Maja e Koretës and Maja e Ilqes.

The western section comprises a rough relief and is dotted with

rock inscriptions dating back to the 4th century BC.[5][6][7][8][9]

Under the Köppen climate classification, the peninsula experiences a mediterranean climate with hot summers and generally warm to cool, dry winters. The ideal climate and contrasting landscapes located at the sea have favored the development of a vast array of habitats which in turn are home to a diverse wildlife. The fauna is represented by several threatened and endangered species such as the loggerhead and green sea turtle but also the mediterranean monk seal, the rarest seal species in the world.[10][11][12]

The landmass of the peninsula is designated as

Sazan, while stopping along the secluded beaches.[17]

The peninsula belongs to the

Kepi i Gjuhëzës, as well as a total number of 20 caves along the whole coast.[20]
