Përditësuar 2026·Verifikuar në këmbë·Dhërmi coast (by boat)
A sea cave in the cliffs along the coast near Dhërmi, reached by boat from the beach. Small craft can slip inside the tall, narrow opening, where the water glows deep blue against the pale rock — a regular stop on summer boat trips along the Riviera.

Historia
Si lindi
The cave was hollowed out of the limestone cliffs by the sea over a very long time. Sea caves along this stretch of the Ceraunian coast are traditionally linked with pirates, which gives the spot its name; today it is visited on boat trips rather than reached by land.
Çfarë do të shihni
Gjatë një vizite
The dramatic entrance and the intensely blue water inside, framed by sculpted rock and arches. Boats edge in when the sea is calm, and many trips pair the cave with a swim stop in the clear water outside.
Si të vizitoni
By boat only — join a summer boat trip or hire a water taxi from Dhërmi or a neighbouring beach. Going inside depends on a calm sea.
Koha më e mirë
Calm summer days from June to September, when boat trips run and the sea is settled enough to enter.
Only by sea. In summer, boat trips and water taxis run from Dhërmi and the beaches nearby — about 2 km along the coast — and they slip inside the cave when conditions are calm.
It's a sea cave hollowed out of the limestone cliffs along this coast, traditionally linked with the pirates who once worked the Ionian shore. Today it's a scenic swim-and-photo stop on a coastal boat trip rather than a place you can reach on foot.
