Looking down from the roof of Apart Hotel Alex over the pool and its loungers to Himarë town and the bay

07Getting here

On the SH8, above the town, with somewhere to leave the car.

The Riviera trunk road climbs out of Himarë and the hotel is on the shoulder of it. Parking on site is free and needs no reservation, which matters here: the five beaches below are spread over two and a half kilometres of coast.

There is one more thing to bring: the hotel takes cash, and the machines are down in the town. The walk down is easy and the walk back up is not, so if the day runs past the bay it is worth knowing what a scooter or a taxi costs here.

Everything below, on one measure.

Five beaches and three places to eat, each drawn against the same 2.6 kilometre span. Every one of them is downhill from the front door, starting with Spille, the beach the town is built along.

Beaches

Spille Beach1.4 km
Maracit Beach1.6 km
Prinos Beach1.9 km
Potam Beach2.4 km
Livadhi Beach2.6 km

Somewhere to eat

Pasticeri Delight1.2 km
Chimara1.3 km
Taverna Lefteri1.3 km

Those three are the closest. The rest of Himarë’s tables are on the seafront, another few hundred metres on. The hotel’s own bar is at the end of the pool deck, which saves the walk back up for a drink.
