Beach Hopping Ionian Coast in Albania: Leisure Experience

The Albanian Riviera runs 150km from Vlorë to Sarandë. The accessible beaches (Dhermi, Himara, Borsh) are beautiful. The unreachable ones are something else

The Albanian Riviera runs 150km from Vlorë to Sarandë. The accessible beaches (Dhermi, Himara, Borsh) are beautiful. The unreachable ones are something else entirely. Gjipa canyon ends at a beach with no road. Filikuri has no facilities and no name on Google Maps. Porto Palermo has a 16th-century Ottoman castle on a peninsula that's only been open to visitors since 2018. Rent a boat from Himara for the day (~€80 for the boat, split between 4–6 people).
