Est. Duration

4-6h

Known as the 'Thailand of Albania'. Beautiful turquoise waters and nice beaches at the end of a gorgeous lush canyon. Has turned into a bit of a tourist trap with all the hotels, litter, and loud music. Very busy during the day, quiet when the daytrippers leave. Get there by boat tour (1h one way, dropped there for 4h and then return, €20 pp). Arrange at one of the guesthouses in Koman or book online.
