The Pavllë (definite Albanian form: Pavlla, Greek: Παύλα[1] - Pavla) is a river in northwestern Greece and southern Albania. Its source is in the Mourgana mountains in Greece, near the village Ampelonas, Thesprotia. It flows west into Albania, along the villages Vagalat and Shkallë. It flows into the Ionian Sea a few km southwest of the archaeological site Butrint. There is a bridge across the river near the village Ampelonas, built in 1798.[1]
