Know more about your day trip
Dhermi Beach is free to access, though you'll pay for optional rentals like sunbeds or watersports equipment. Llogara National Park may charge a small vehicle entry fee. Neither fee is included in the Daytrip price, so it's a good idea to carry some Albanian lek (ALL) or euros for any costs at the sites.
The drive from Saranda to Dhermi takes approximately 1.5 hours along the coastal road. From Dhermi, Llogara National Park is about another 30 minutes further north. The total round trip is a full-day journey of about 10 hours and 45 minutes, making this one of Daytrip's longer and more immersive Albanian day trips.
This trip works well for families, though it's a long day. Dhermi Beach is excellent for kids, with calm, clear water and beach rentals available. Llogara National Park's scenic viewpoints and picnic areas are also family-friendly, though those planning to hike should factor in children's energy levels. The private vehicle means you can adjust stops and pace to suit your group.
Yes! Llogara National Park has trails ranging in difficulty. A popular shorter route, Ceasar's Pass ("Shtegu i Cezarit"), takes about an hour to complete and rewards hikers with stunning views over the Ionian Sea. If you plan to hike, bring durable footwear, plenty of water, and sun protection.
With three hours to explore, you can swim at Dhermi Beach, rent a sunbed, try watersports, or book a short boat tour to the nearby Pirate Cave. The village streets are also worth wandering â whitewashed buildings, blue-roofed churches, and local restaurants serving fresh seafood make for a wonderfully relaxed afternoon. Beach equipment like sunbeds and snorkeling gear is available for rent near the shore.
Dhermi is a stunning village on the Albanian Riviera, perched on cliffs above one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The beach itself is a long stretch of pebbles lapped by clear turquoise water, with a laid-back resort atmosphere, beachside bars, and plenty of room to spread out. The contrast between the whitewashed hillside village and the brilliant blue sea below makes it one of the most picturesque spots in Albania.
Llogara National Park sits high in the Ceraunian Mountains above the Albanian Riviera and offers a completely different experience from the beach. The park is famous for its dramatic mountain pass views, ancient pine forests, and the iconic "Pine Flags" â trees bent permanently by the wind into sweeping horizontal shapes that have become a symbol of the park. On a clear day, the panoramas stretching down to the coast are absolutely breathtaking.
Late spring through early autumn (May to September) is ideal for this trip. Dhermi Beach is at its best in summer, while Llogara National Park is pleasant from spring through autumn. July and August are the busiest months, so consider visiting in June or September for a more relaxed experience. In winter, mountain roads near Llogara can be challenging.
