Long row of sun loungers on Drymadhes Beach with the Ionian water beyond.

Location

Drymadhes, on the Albanian Riviera.

A small cove south of the Llogara pass on the southern Albanian coast. Old olive groves, pine, and one of the clearest stretches of the Ionian. Drymadhes Beach is one minute on foot from the villa.

On the map

Between Llogara and Saranda, a coast that still keeps its own hours.

Drymadhes sits on the Albanian Riviera — a forty-kilometre run of pebble coves, limestone headland and pine that opens south of the Llogara pass and runs down toward Saranda. The water is Ionian clear; the villages above it remain stone-built and quiet. Villa 4 is set one minute on foot from Drymadhes Beach, within easy reach of Gjipe canyon, Porto Palermo and the old town of Dhërmi.

Drymadhes Beach — straw umbrellas and pebble shore beneath the coastal cliffs.

A coastline still mostly its own.

The Albanian Riviera remains one of the last unspoilt stretches of Mediterranean coast. Wild beaches, family-run tavernas, an archaeological backbone running quietly behind the shoreline.
