Devolli is located in the southeast of Albania, in Korçë. On the western side of the valley lies the spine of the Morava mountain, which is the longest border that separates Devolli from Korça. The total area is over 453.27 km², with a population of 42,388 inhabitants and the capital is Bilishti. Devolli is bordered by Pustec to the north, Maliq and Korca to the west, Kolonja to the south, and Greece to the east.

It is an area dominated by the rural population, whose income is based on two main sources, agriculture and livestock and remittances from emigration. In addition to the cultivation of various crops, the inhabitants deal a lot with orchards, being among the areas with the highest production in the country.

Devolli remains to be visited for the beautiful touristic places, for the natural reserves of Cangonji and Poloska, for the forest of Bradvica, for St. Kostanini, as well as for the picturesque view it offers of the Morava mountain and its many water sources.
