How We Rank
The Albanian Riviera stretches 152 km along the Ionian Sea from Llogara Pass to the Greek border, and it holds some of the Mediterranean's last undeveloped coastline. Ksamil's three islands offer the country's most photogenic swimming, while Dhermi combines beach life with a lively summer music scene at cliffside bars. Gjipe Beach — a 30-minute hike through a canyon — rewards with pristine water and dramatic limestone walls. Himara provides a more laid-back, family-friendly alternative with a long pebble beach and waterfront tavernas. Private boat tours access secluded coves reachable only from the sea, and Llogara Pass offers paragliding launches with panoramic Ionian views from 1 027 m. The Riviera's beach season runs May through October, with water temperatures peaking at 26 °C in August.
