Himare Boat Trip

Himarë is a coastal town on the Albanian Riviera and the perfect base for exploring hidden beaches.

It’s quieter than Ksamil with a lot less crowds, so it’s a good alternative option if you don’t have loads of time in your itinerary and prefer a more laidback vibe.

One of the best things to do in Himarë is a boat trip along the coastline, stopping at secluded coves and beaches that are only accessible by sea.

My friend and I hired a private boat for the afternoon but it is an expensive way of doing things. We paid €180 for the day but it meant we could go wherever we wanted and spend as much or as little time in each cove.

There are lots of affordable boat tours available too, like this one for only €36.
