Pristine Albanian Riviera beaches, a hilltop old town with centuries of history, and affordable world-class dentistry — the ultimate dental holiday awaits.
Himara is a small coastal town on Albania's breathtaking Ionian coastline, often considered the heart of the Albanian Riviera. Unlike larger resort towns, Himara retains an authentic character with its hilltop old town featuring castle ruins, Byzantine churches, and traditional stone houses. Below, some of Europe's most beautiful beaches line the turquoise coast. A distinct Greek minority community adds another layer of cultural richness to this captivating destination.
Livadhi Beach sits just south of town, while secluded Jala Beach and the dramatic Gjipe Beach are short trips away. Dhermi and Drymades, two of Albania's finest beaches, are just 15-20 minutes north.
Perched above the modern waterfront, Himara's old town features castle ruins, Byzantine-era churches, and traditional stone architecture. Panoramic views of the Ionian Sea make sunset visits unforgettable.
The drive from Tirana crosses Llogara Pass at 1,027m — one of Europe's most spectacular mountain roads with jaw-dropping views of the coastline and, on clear days, as far as Corfu and Italy.
A vibrant Greek-Albanian cultural mix with fresh seafood tavernas, waterfront cafes, and traditional hospitality. Enjoy grilled fish, olive oil dishes, and local wine for under €12 per meal.
