A little further south from Orikum is Vuno, a village on a steep mountainside overlooking the sea. A great reason to stop here is to make the quest to get to Gjipe Beach, a remote cove that lies at the end of a deep limestone gorge.
The walk down to sea will be like nothing you’ve experienced, as the high walls block out most of the sunlight and you have to clamber down some difficult rocks. In the end your toils will be rewarded by the breathtaking beauty of this near-perfect cove.
Also in the area is Jali Beach, also rated as one of Albania’s best. It’s a slightly larger cove with fine pebbles, bookended by rocky outcrops and bathed by transparent blue waters.
