About Dhërmi

Dhërmi clings to the Albanian Riviera, its old stone village on the slope and its beach, plus neighbouring Drymades, at the foot of the mountains. The coastal road from Vlorë crosses the Llogara pass and looks down on the Ionian, with the Karaburun peninsula and its marine park to the north. Saranda and the ruins of Butrint lie further south along the same coast. June to September is beach weather; July and August are the liveliest and busiest.
