Dhërmi is one of the most iconic destinations on the Albanian Riviera, known for its long beach, clear turquoise water, and dramatic coastal setting between the mountains and the sea. While most people come for the beach clubs, swimming, and summer atmosphere along the coast, the old town of Dhërmi offers a completely different experience and is a great place to stay if you want more charm and a quieter setting. The village sits higher up on the hillside with stone houses, small alleys, old churches, and beautiful views over the coastline, giving the area much more character than just a typical beach stop. Staying in the old town is perfect if you want to enjoy the beach during the day but return to a more peaceful and authentic atmosphere in the evening.
