Description

The Albanian Riviera is characterized by a constellation of rocky and isolated beaches, surrounded by scenic hills and vertiginous mountains covered in lush and untamed vegetation that is typical of the Mediterranean. Charming and hospitable villages were built over the centuries between the mountains and the sea, places where visitors can find a temporary home to enjoy the splendid waters and breathtaking vistas of the Ionian Sea. Itinerary 1-Borsh is a huge, sweeping white-stone beach that is several kilometres long. While it's still far from over-run with development, it's hardly undiscovered either. There are plenty of summer-only bars and restaurants, plus a few places to stay 2-Porto Palermo Porto Palermo Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Porto Palermos) is a castle near Himarë in southern Albania. It is situated in the bay of Porto Palermo, a few kilometers south of Himarë along the Albanian Riviera. Huffington Post ranked Porto Palermo first among 15 Undiscovered European Destinations for 2014. The area together with Llamani beach will be proclaimed a protected area holding the status of Protected Landscape by the Albanian Government.It is the most well preserved garrison erected by Ali Pasha in the region. 3-Himara Beach There are two main beaches in Himara. The northern one is the main town beach and has a promenade lined with cafes and bars. Around the headland to the south is a much larger beach with less development but also less atmosphere. Both beaches are well maintained and kept clean. 4-Vuno A small village up in the rocky arid mountains with its beautiful white houses facing the deep blue Ionian sea. Charming, authentic, desolate, enchanting.It is the village where Lord Byron and the famous writer and illustrator Edward Lear stopped for a while and admired the architecture and the murals of its churches. This is the native land of various Albanian personalities and it is known for its distinguished sense of patriotism. 5-Drymades Located on the coast of the Ionian Sea, Drymades Beach has become one of the most popular beaches in Albania, and for a good reason. Its golden sand and spectacular views of the coastline make it a must-visit destination for tourists from all over the world. However, the most striking thing about Drymades Beach is the clear turquoise waters. The beach is considered to be one of the cleanest in the country, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and other fun activities.
