One of the smallest urban settlements of Albania, Krasta is the center of the commune of Martanesh, part of Bulqizë district in Dibër county. It lies on a plateau, on the eastern slope of Kalti mountain 1,592 m (5,223 ft), part of Mali i Lopës. It has an altitude of 1,100 m (3,609 ft), making it the highest town in Albania. Krasta is situated in a relatively isolated mountainous region and is 20 km far from its nearest city, Bulqiza. Krasta is almost 145 km (90 mi) by road from the capital Tirana, despite being only 40 km as the crow flies from it. It is expected that the completion of the new Arbër highway will halve the distance of the town from the capital of Albania.
