Vurg (Albanian definite form: Vurgu) is a plain and region in the southern part of Vlorë County, southwestern Albania.[1]
Vurg means marshland in Albanian. Before bonification works in the Communism period, most of the Vurg area was covered with marshes. When it rained, the Kalasë and Bistrica rivers increased the marsh area even further.[2]
