We visited beautiful towns like Himara, Dhërmi, and Vuno each offering stunning beaches and a relaxing atmosphere. The views along the coastal road were incredible, especially from higher viewpoints where you could see the endless blue of the Ionian Sea.
Thankyou
I could have sat here for hours just absorbing the history. It's a perfectly preserved castle, with corridors, dark rooms, a musty smell, which fire the imagination of times passed. All the Albanian Riviera was very nice coastline wich gone remain in my mind
Thankyou Ernaldoo
