Haxhi Ali Cave & Grama Bay Tours from Vlore
The Haxhi Ali cave is the set piece of every Vlore boat trip: a sea cave big enough to take a boat inside, named after a sixteenth-century corsair who is supposed to have hidden in it. Further down the peninsula, Grama Bay is a Roman-era quarry where sailors sheltering from storms carved their names, ships and prayers into the rock — some of them more than two thousand years old.

Sea Caves & Grama Bay en Vlore — Preguntas frecuentes
What is the Haxhi Ali cave?
A large sea cave on the Karaburun peninsula, some seventy metres deep and high enough for boats to enter, named after a corsair of the sixteenth century. It is the most-visited stop on the bay and appears on nearly every Vlore boat itinerary.
What are the Grama Bay inscriptions?
Carvings left by sailors in an ancient limestone quarry on the Karaburun coast — names, ships, dedications and prayers cut into the rock from the Hellenistic period through Roman and Byzantine times. The bay is reachable only by boat and usually needs a full-day trip.
How much is a trip to Grama Bay from Vlore?
Full-day guided boat tours to Grama Bay and the Blue Cave cost €69–€85 including stops for swimming. Shorter half-day trips reach the Haxhi Ali cave and Sazan but not Grama, which lies much further along the peninsula.
