Full Description

Best beaches in Albania: Daily speedboat trip to discover KaraburunmyTour takes you to discover the beautiful bays of southern Albania. You will take a speedboat and reach the Haxhi Ali Cave. To get there, you will pass through other noteworthy locations, such as Fisherman's Bay, Boat Bay and Cape of the Tongue. Arriving at the Haxhi Ali Cave (also known as the Illyrian Cave), participants can indulge in snorkeling, or stay on the speedboat to have a drink. The cave gets its name from the figure of the pirate Haxhi Ali, who used it as a refuge in the 16th century. For his courage in defending these lands from invasions by British, Turkish, Neapolitan and Venetian fleets, Haxhi Ali became famous among shepherds, merchants and travelers. After a break of 20 minutes in the cave, you will return through the Bay of Vlora. You will have the opportunity to admire some of the most popular places on the Riviera, such as the beach of Zhiron, Kalasa and the entire Cold Water The charm of the Bay of DafinaAfter visiting Haxhi Ali Cave, by speedboat you will reach Dafina Bay, one of the wonders of the Karaburun Marine Area. A small horseshoe shaped bay with white sandy beaches in Albania about 50 meters wide. To get here on foot there are seven hours of walking from Llogara, so being able to use the boat is a real privilege. Dafina Bay is also known for the small cave it houses, which can be entered directly by boat. Inside, it is so beautiful it looks like a postcard: a very small beach made of white stones and a palm tree.Bristan Bay and the remains of military fortificationsYou will stop on Dafina beach for about 4 hours, to leave and discover another beautiful bay, The Bristan bay, a rocky one, whose shore is dominated by steep cliffs that fall towards the sea and rocky and pebble beaches.Here the coast changes between soft golden sandy beaches in Albania and jagged cliffs. The water is wonderful and in some places, the vegetation goes right up to the beach. You are on one of the best beaches in Albania on the Karaburun-Sazan peninsula, where ships used to take shelter in the past when the sea was too rough. Here, peace and tranquility are the real protagonists. In addition to the beach, you can take four steps on the mainland, where there is an abandoned military building, a small pier, and some protected bunkers behind steep cliffs. Among the rocks, you will find deep canyons - used as fallout shelters up to 30 years ago.
