Dhermi is a community in the Vlore County of Albania. It is part of the municipality of Himare. The village lies 42 kilometers south of Vlore and nearly the same distance north of the country’s most southern city, Sarand. It consists of three neighborhoods: Gjilek, Kondraq (also known as Kallam), and Dhermi proper, and is situated around 200 meters above sea level on a slope of the Ceraunian Mountains. In the distance to the south, Corfu can be seen in the southwest, where the mountains descend down the Ionian coast from the southwest. The surrounding village of Palas is worth a visit. The majority of Dhermi’s inhabitants speak Himariote, an ancient form of Greek that is distinct from standard Greek. Along the coast, the construction of housing amenities such as wooden villa complexes has lately surged.
How To Travel To Dhermi
By plane
Take the bus from Tirana International Airport south to Saranda and Himara. Or, you may first go to Corfu, then take a morning or afternoon ferry to Sarand and a bus to Dhrmi (in the afternoon 14:00).
By boat
From Corfu to Sarandë (all year) or Himara (during the summer), then to Dhermi via bus. Or, from Italy’s Bari or Brindisi to Albania’s Vlore and Durres, then by bus to Sarandë or Himara.
By bus
Take the direct bus from Tirana to Dhermi every day at noon from the bus terminal towards the south.
Inconsistent bus service exists between Vlore and Sarandë. In addition to being inexpensive, they stop in a national park south of Vlor that has multiple eateries. As you go south to Sarandë across the mountain pass, the route is superb.
RivieraBus offers service from Tirana to Dhermi as well. Online seat reservation, credit card payments, complimentary Wi-Fi and refreshments on board, and a dependable schedule. Flat rate of €40 to any location, including Durres, Vlora, Dhermi, Jale, Himara, Borsh, and Sarandë.

When touring along the Albanian Riviera, many individuals are willing to transport you to the next beach town. A little payment (200 to 400 lek) at the end is a kind gesture that is appreciated by the people.
How To Travel Around Dhermi
Due to the low distances, you may walk about Dhermi or hail a taxi if required. Before boarding the taxi, make sure to discuss the fee. As of September 2014, a taxi ride from Drymades Beach to the top of the coastal road costs 750 lek. A car trip of less than 10 minutes that is rather costly!
Sights & Landmarks In Dhermi
Dhermi has some of the greatest beaches in Albania. It is one of those settings where you feel instantly comfortable. It is lovely, peaceful, and very welcoming. Bring a book and spend the day by the beach with a treat from the local bakery.
During your time in Dhermi, several options for adventure will present themselves. As you ascend the stairs to Saint Mary Panajia, you will be rewarded with a spectacular panorama of the surrounding region. The monastery of Saint Theodhor gives a similarly stunning view. A day’s rental of a boat is also a smart investment during your stay. You may find Pirate Cave and Pirate Cave rock in the water. Consider visiting Gjipe Bay in order to ascend the 75-meter-tall Petasma waterfall.
Return to Perivoli Beach thereafter. You may have the whole three kilometers of beach to yourself, depending on the season. Ensure that you find honey and olive oil to bring back with you throughout your visit. It is among the finest in the Balkans, and the bulk of it is handcrafted. Additionally, figs and bananas are prevalent in this area. During your stay in picturesque Dhermi, there are numerous sights and activities to enjoy. On a tranquil day, you may unwind to your heart’s content, trek to breathtaking sites, or float away on the lake. With such a laid-back atmosphere, it is difficult to resist this ensemble.
Unless you visit Dhermi in August, when you must make bookings in advance or be confined to camping, it will not be difficult to find a place to sleep.
There are hotels in Dhermi, as well as resorts a few kilometers south-west of Drymades Beach. To reach this spot, take the right fork as the SH8 road drops towards Dhermi and then follow the rocky trail past several farms. There are some expensive chalets in resorts, but if you come in May, June, or September during the off-season, the weather will still be pleasant and the prices will be more inexpensive. The Altea Beach Lodges are affordable and the restaurant is open during the off-season, however the menu may be limited. In July and August, every hotel and resort will charge a premium rate. Additionally, you may pitch a tent a few hundred yards down the beach and dine at their restaurant and bar.
A room in the village will cost at least €20, whilst a room near the beach will cost between €20 and €40, depending on its location and the season. If you hunt around, you may find lodgings for four people for as cheap as €5 per night.
In addition, camping spaces are available for €4 per person.
A meal at a restaurant in Dhermi costs roughly €10 on average (there are restaurants providing pizza, fish, traditional Albanian, Italian, and Greek food). There are a variety of fantastic fast food alternatives available for less than €4 per person, including a beverage.
Due to the abrupt end of the tourist season in August, there are often fewer eating options in the Drymades Beach area on September 1 each year. The menus of the few remaining restaurants will most likely be limited to whatever food remains in the kitchen.
Do not forget to get olive oil ($4 per liter) and honey ($8 per liter) in Dhermi, since it is among the finest in Albania and the Balkans.
Frequently, the oil is handmade and quite unrefined. In addition, don’t forget to pick up some figs, since Albania is the thirteenth largest fig grower in the world. Bananas grow in several areas in Dhermi. Although they are often immature, feel free to indulge in Europe’s only bananas! Lemons and oranges are also quite popular and pretty tasty. Please stretch your hand, take one orange from the tree, peel it, and eat it.
Nightlife in Dhermi
You have two alternatives for nightlife: Havana Beach Bar, one of the first beach bars to emerge between Dhermi Beach and Palase, and Cafe del Mare Pub, the most popular drinking establishment on the Ionian Coast among Albanians. In actuality, the majority of young Albanian government leaders, singers, models, and Big Brother stars patronize Havana Beach Bar during the summer.
Panorama affords views of Dhermi’s magnificent environment throughout the day and at night.
Modern cafés and taverns abound in Dhermi, where a coffee costs roughly €0.50, a cola costs approximately €1, a beer costs approximately €1-2, and a cocktail costs €2-4. The costs in the city of Dhermi are far higher than in the hamlet, where old women sell the vegetables they grow on their balconies – or “veranda” in Albanian.
More than 5 kilometers in length, the beaches of Dhermi are distinguished by their wonderful white sand that plunges into clear, deep waters, making them the ideal location for snorkelers, who will find amazing rocky bottoms teeming with many species of fish. Dhermi, Drymades, and Palase are the three most well-known seaside resorts in this region of the southern coast, where travelers flock to spend leisurely days in bays surrounded by unspoiled nature.
