We are located in Himare, Albania. I wonder how many of you are aware of the fact that Himara hides such beautiful unknown beaches and caves, ready to be explored. Travel with our boat and get ready to see landscapes and scenes that you have never seen before. Enjoy the trip we offer you and we guarantee that this ride will be unforgettable.

Local experience, where you can meet our Queen. 2 and half hours tour. We have two times for mussel tour, one at 11:00 till 13:30 and on the afternoon 16:30 till 19:00. Start from the port of the lake Butrint with our wooden boat, sail to the mussel bed's (concrete beton structure) build it since communism time in 1960. Explain the process of cultivation and then do the same process as mussel farmer do, seperate the Queen's from the nets. After the process, start to sail again to the place called Kalivoi, there we will prepare our lunch, two kind of mussel dish, fresh vegetables, homemade bread, white wine and water.

Booked tour at the tourist center a day in advance. A 30min bumpy ride later and you have beautiful nature and a magical waterspring that is crystal blue! Wish we had more time to explore the surroundings and maybe eat by the water! Try to go early or else it will be quite crowded!

Came down to Gjipe for a day, but stayed for the night since there is camp at the beach. Also there are a few bars/restaurants at the location. We left the car at the parking, and went down on foot beacuse the road to the beach is driveable only by 4x4 vehicles.

Driving the coastal road from Vlore to Saranda is the best drive you can have in Albania. The distance between the two is only 140 km, but you need 3 hrs for that without stopping, so you might imagine how curvy the road is. The drive reminds of the Amalfi coast one on a smaller scale. With stopping, which I strongly suggest you need an entire day. I suggest this itinerary: From Vlore you ascend to almost 1.000 m altitude with a significant temp drop, driving through terrific mountain roads with several restaurants to stop or honey to buy along the way. First scenic spot is "Panorama Llogara" - terrific place with unbelievable views of the coast beneath you and from where paraglyders take off. After that, just two curves below is one of the bigger Enver Hohxa bunkers, along with several smaller, again great views. Your third stop should be Dhermi - imo best sea town with the best beach in whole Albania (you see it up from the previous two stops). Fourth stop is Himare, also a nice beach town. Fifth and last stop before Saranda should be the Ali Pasha fortress in Palermo bay (read that review). It will be a full day of great sites to see along the way.
