Tu guía completa de Dhërmi
Aguas turquesa, playas de guijarros blancos, telón de fondo montañoso.
Las calas más cristalinas de la Riviera Albanesa, las playas que merecen el viaje, alojamientos junto a la arena y adónde van las noches de verano — una guía completa y honesta de Dhërmi y Drymades, actualizada cada temporada.
Boat Trip to Gjipe Beach
The easiest way to reach Gjipe — the hidden cove at the mouth of a canyon between Dhërmi and Himarë — is by boat from the Dhërmi shore. Small boats and water taxis run down the coast in summer, dropping you on the pebbles for a swim in some of the Riviera's clearest water before the ride back.
Pirates' Cave & Coves Boat Tour
A coastal boat tour from Dhërmi takes in the sea caves and hidden coves north toward Grama Bay, including the dramatic Pirates' Cave — a deep grotto only reachable from the water. Expect swim stops in secluded bays with water so clear you can see the bottom.
Paragliding over Llogara Pass
Llogara Pass is one of the Riviera's best-known launch points, where tandem paragliding flights lift off from around 1,000 metres and sweep out over the Ionian coast far below. No experience is needed for a tandem flight with a pilot, and the views over the mountains and sea are unmatched.
DestacadoDhërmi Beach
The main beach at Dhërmi — a long strand of white pebble and exceptionally clear turquoise water on the Ionian coast, backed by the steep Ceraunian Mountains. In summer it fills with sunbeds, beach bars and small boats running out to the coves nearby.
St. Mary's Monastery
A small Byzantine-era monastery church on the slopes above Dhërmi, dedicated to Saint Mary (Manastiri i Shën Marisë) and dating to around the 13th–14th century. Built of pale stone with a red-tiled roof and a little bell tower in the Byzantine style, it looks out over the old village, the coast and the mountains, and its interior is painted with frescoes, the finest of them added in 1781 by Ioannis, Archbishop of Himara and Delvina.
Drymades Beach
The quieter, more relaxed strip just north of Dhërmi Beach — the same clear turquoise water and white pebbles, with a laid-back run of beach bars and clubs set among olive and pine. Also spelled Drimades.
Paso de Llogara
La puerta montañosa de la Riviera — un ascenso de curvas cerradas hasta un paso de 1.000 m con vistas panorámicas del Jónico.
Playa de Gjipe
Una cala escondida en la desembocadura de un cañón entre Dhërmi y Himarë, a la que se llega en barco o bajando a pie.
Himarë
La principal ciudad costera de la Riviera — un casco antiguo coronado por un castillo, playas y el cercano Porto Palermo.
Lui Potam
SeafoodA hugely popular seafood taverna down on the pebbles at Potam, the cove just south of Himarë town — a wood-beamed terrace with white taverna chairs looking straight out over the bay, worth the short drive south from Dhërmi. The draw is the day's catch straight off the ice, red prawns and grilled fish eaten with your feet almost on the beach.
★ 4.8 · €€€ · Potam beach, Himarë (~10 km south of Dhërmi)
The Jester's Taverna
Seafood & MediterraneanA busy, highly rated taverna on the road between Himarë and Livadh, a short drive south of Dhërmi — a string-lit terrace under yellow-striped awnings set back off the coast road, framed by olive trees. The kitchen leans on seafood meze and the day's fish, and it fills up on summer evenings.
★ 4.8 · €€ · Himarë–Livadh road (~9 km south of Dhërmi)
Taverna Velco
Greek & seafoodA long-running, well-loved taverna at Potam just south of Himarë, a short drive down the coast from Dhërmi — a vine-shaded, stone-walled dining room hung with local bric-a-brac and a garden terrace out front. The cooking keeps to honest Greek-Himarë home plates: grilled fish, meze and slow-cooked classics.
★ 4.8 · €€ · Potam, Himarë (~10 km south of Dhërmi)
Noah on the Beach
Seafood & MediterraneanA scenic seaside table set right above the water at the quieter end of the beach, where the draw is as much the view as the plate. Come at dusk for grilled seafood and a glass of wine as the light goes off the Ionian.
★ 4.9 · €€ · Dhërmi Beach
Mom's Food
Traditional AlbanianA tiny family kitchen up in the stone village of Vuno, in the hills above the Riviera — a handful of tables on a bougainvillea-shaded terrace looking out over the olive groves to the distant sea. The cooking is exactly what the name promises: home-style Albanian dishes, made to order and served slowly.
★ 4.8 · € · Vuno villageAl Caer la Noche
En verano, la vida nocturna de Dhërmi sucede sobre la arena — copas al atardecer que se deslizan hacia sesiones de DJ, y semanas de festivales que llevan multitudes a las calas.
Guía de vida nocturna →Bares frente al mar
Dhërmi y Drymades funcionan a base de copas al atardecer, cócteles y sesiones de DJ sobre la misma arena.
Drymades
La franja más relajada de la Riviera — clubs de playa que pasan sin esfuerzo del baño a la noche avanzada.
Festivales de verano
Las calas de Dhërmi acogen festivales de música electrónica durante las semanas de pleno verano.
Guesthouse Vila Druri
A cluster of timber chalets in a banana-and-palm garden a short walk from Dhërmi beach, each with a small balcony and a simple pine-lined interior. A quiet, good-value alternative to the concrete hotels, with parking behind a gated courtyard and the sand within easy reach.
Ionian Pearl
A small pale-stone guesthouse on the Drymades hillside, just above the cove north of Dhërmi beach, with a compact outdoor pool and a sun terrace of loungers and umbrellas looking straight out to the Ionian. A quiet, view-first base a short way up from the sand.
Season Inn
A tidy white hotel in Palasë, at the quieter northern end of the Dhërmi stretch, with tiers of balconied rooms among the olive trees and a mountain backdrop behind. Rooms are simple, modern and air-conditioned, and a rooftop terrace looks out over the village.

Las preguntas que nos hace todo visitante primerizo.
Sí. Dhërmi es uno de los pueblos más impactantes de la Riviera Albanesa — aguas jónicas turquesa y cristalinas y playas de guijarros situadas justo al pie de los montes Ceraunios, con un ambiente relajado de bares de playa en verano y calas tranquilas a un corto paseo o trayecto en barco.
Dos o tres días bastan para disfrutar de la playa de Dhërmi, Drymades y una excursión en barco a calas cercanas como Gjipe. Añade un día o dos para explorar la Riviera más amplia — el paso de Llogara, Himarë y la carretera hacia el sur en dirección a Sarandë.
Dhërmi se encuentra en la carretera costera (SH8) a lo largo de la Riviera Albanesa. La mayoría de los visitantes van en coche: son unas 3 o 4 horas de viaje desde el Aeropuerto Internacional de Tirana atravesando el paso de Llogara, o puedes llegar a la costa por Vlorë al norte o Sarandë al sur. En verano también circulan autobuses y minibuses compartidos (furgons) por la costa.
De junio a septiembre para el baño y la temporada de bares de playa, siendo julio y agosto los meses más cálidos y concurridos. Finales de mayo y septiembre son más tranquilos, con agua cálida y menos gente.
La playa de Dhërmi y la contigua Drymades son las principales — largos tramos de guijarros blancos y aguas cristalinas. Gjipe, una cala escondida al pie de un cañón hacia Himarë, es la excursión más destacada y se llega en barco o a pie.
Por algunas de las aguas más cristalinas y las mejores playas de la Riviera Albanesa — Dhërmi, Drymades y Gjipe — un espectacular telón de fondo de los montes Ceraunios, un animado ambiente de clubs de playa en verano, y pueblos y monasterios en la ladera justo por encima de la costa.
