Dhërmi Beach

Dhërmi is one of the best-known beaches on the Albanian Riviera, on the southern Ionian coast in the Himarë area. The tourism agency describes a mix of rounded stones and fine sand, with olive groves and hills around, and bars and restaurants for evenings.

It is a good stand-in for a Dalmatian or Greek-island beach day, with space to spare outside peak weeks. Sea-water shoes help on the pebbles, and licensed operators matter for any boat or jet-ski hire: the FCDO says some local rentals may lack proper safety equipment. July and August are hot, with average highs above 32 °C, so June and September suit better. The Llogara pass above the coast has big sea views and paragliding.
