Taverna Velco

A 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. The property's own site places it 250 metres from Potam beach in a quiet part of Himarë, and pairs the restaurant with guest rooms looking onto the garden or the sea, a mini-market, a shared garden, free private parking and free Wi-Fi. Its billing for the kitchen is blunt, the best tasting seafood in Himara, with a card built around starters and a long seafood-and-fish section.
