(Redirected from Klisura Pass)
The Këlcyrë Gorge (Albanian: Gryka e Këlcyrës) is a gorge in southern Albania created by the river Vjosë, west of the town of Këlcyrë.
The gorge became famous during the Capture of Klisura Pass battle during the Greco-Italian War in World War II.[1] A Greek military cemetery for the fallen Greek soldiers is located within the pass.[2]
