With a population of just 2,604, Orikum is a tiny backwater town in southwestern Albania. The former municipality was absorbed into the larger city of Vlorë in 2015, and the transition has been a bureaucratic headache for residents. While the town was once home to the ancient ruins of Oricum, today there's little to attract visitors beyond a glimpse of crumbling history. Unless you're a die-hard fan of Enver Hoxha's communist legacy, as one Haaretz writer claimed to have discovered, Orikum likely holds little appeal for most foreigners considering a move to Albania.
