Getting There
About 15 minutes by car south of Dhërmi, then the walk down; boats run from Dhërmi in summer.

Why Go

A rough track from the coast road ends near an old monastery, and a 30-minute path drops to the beach, where the canyon walls open onto the sea. Walk up into the gorge between towering cliffs, or swim in the clear water below.
