If you want to know the reason why this destination is so popular, you need to go there and try it. I am sure that this journey would be one of the best ones you ever had!
How to get there
Going to Gjipe is relatively easy. From Tirana, you need to go to Vlora. Once you arrive in Vlora, you will need to go up to Llogora pass, where the views of the Ionian Sea are amazing. The distance between the Llogora pass and Gjipe is around 22 km. You will go through the village of Dhërmi where you can find supermarkets to buy food and drinks. 4.5 after Dhërmi you will see a sign to turn right to Gjipe. You need to follow the road which is around 2.6 km to a Monastery. There you can park the car, because from there to the beach the road is unpaved and you can go to the beach, only with 4x4 cars. The distance between the Monastery and the beach is around 1.5 km. Walking there is amazing, where you can enjoy the view of the beautiful Ionian.
