One of the best Albanian coastline village, Dhermi. Cristal-like water, 3 pebble beaches and tens of tiny, untouched beaches. Generally local tourists, youth and families like us with small kids 😁.

We travelled by car to Dhermi since we came from Macedonia finding a direct bus or minibus option is hard. Visiting other 2 beaches having a car is very advantageous unless you would take a taxi or autostop. We hired a room integrated with kitchen and bathroom, 2 minutes on foot to Dhermi beach. Prices are quite affordable and welcoming a coffee(100 Lek) and a ball of ice-cream(100 Lek). It was the end of August but quite crowded and hot. Left-side is located long, public beach and right-side are located small quite, clean, calm and private beaches. I would confess that left-side is for the really high-layer. By the way, also Albanian Presidental Villa is located in left-side 😎. Below a picture from left-side.

Enjoying the view of small beach and restaurants combined with the right side long public beach.

For return route, we preferred through Greece and visited some other popular, touristic locations: Saranda, Ksamil, Igoumenitsa, Parga, Lefkada and Preveza as in Google Maps route.
