Dhërmi combines a dramatic mountain-backed coast with clear water, pebble beaches and a growing choice of places to stay and eat. The old village sits higher on the slope and feels quite different from the beach strip below.
Why visit
- Take time to explore on foot and discover the place at an unhurried pace.
- Look for local restaurants and small independent businesses, not only the most visible tourist spots.
- In peak season, book accommodation and popular activities well in advance.
