Snorkelling Tours in Vlore
The marine park was closed to almost everyone for fifty years, which is exactly why the water on the Karaburun side is as clear as it is. Snorkelling trips work the rock shelves around the caves and the coves off Sazan, where the seabed is limestone and posidonia rather than sand and visibility regularly runs past twenty metres.

Snorkelling & Swimming in Vlore — FAQ
Is the snorkelling good near Vlore?
Very — the Karaburun-Sazan marine park has been protected since 2010 and was a closed military zone for decades before that, so the rock shelves and posidonia beds are in better condition than most of the Adriatic. Visibility is best in the morning before the wind.
How much is a snorkelling tour in Vlore?
Around €36–€40 for a half-day boat trip with two or three snorkel stops and equipment included. Full-day versions taking in Grama Bay and the caves cost €69–€85.
Where can you swim near Vlore?
The city beaches at Plazhi i Ri are convenient rather than beautiful; the good swimming is across the bay at the Karaburun coves and at Dafina and Bear’s Bay, all boat-access only. South over the Llogara pass, the Riviera beaches at Dhermi and Himara are the best in the country.
