Gjipe Beach

Highlight • Beach

For me the most beautiful beach on the Albanian Riviera. As difficult to access, hardly any visitors. If you're lucky, the drinks trolley is open.

The late summer fairytale of Albania continues. First, we take a boat to Gjipe Bay, then continue along narrow, overgrown paths, always with a view of the island of Corfu, and later, mostly on gravel paths, back to our accommodation in Himare.

The last third, to Gjipe, is lonely and offers great views. The path is challenging because it's narrow and overgrown with thorny bushes.
The climb from the beach to the …
