Apartment Alexis Stefanos
An entire flat in the middle of Himarë — one bedroom, a living room that sleeps two more, a full kitchen and a balcony. The beach, the bakery, the pharmacy and the bus all stand inside a hundred and fifty metres of the front door.
The property has no street number. Its address is a colour and a landmark: the yellow house, opposite the kindergarten.
Sixty-five square metres, and a door of your own
This is not a room in a guesthouse. It is a private flat on an upper floor of a family building in the centre of town: a bedroom with a door that closes, a living room running into the kitchen, a private bathroom, and a balcony over the street. Nobody else is in it while you are.

Room by room
Everything the flat has, photographed as it is. The frames below are the property’s own, in the order you walk them.
The kitchen and the table
A full kitchen wrapping two walls, and a table that seats four.
The living room
A sofa that opens into a second bed, and the doorway through to the hall.
The bedroom
One queen bed, a wardrobe, and air conditioning.
The bathroom
Private, tiled blue and white, with a bidet and a hairdryer.
The sand
Spile is Himarë’s own beach — shingle running into sand, a jetty with boats out to the coves, and a promenade of plane trees behind it. It is seventy-four metres from the door in a straight line and about two minutes on foot.
The doorstep
The reason to take this flat is not the flat. It is where it stands. Every point below was measured from the building, not estimated — bearings and distances taken off the map against the resolved coordinate.

What people ask before they book
How far is Apartment Alexis Stefanos from the beach in Himarë?
Spile, the town beach, is about a two-minute walk — 74 metres from the door in a straight line, and 150 metres the way you actually walk it. You reach shingle and sand, a jetty with boats running out to the coves, and the tree-lined promenade behind it.
Is the whole apartment yours, or is it a room in a shared flat?
The whole apartment is yours. It is 65 square metres with its own front door: a separate bedroom, a living room that runs into the kitchen, a private bathroom and a balcony. There is no shared space and no other guests in the flat.
How many people can sleep at Apartment Alexis Stefanos?
Four. There is one queen bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. A crib can be added for a child under one, on request and charged separately. There are no extra beds beyond those, so four is the ceiling rather than a suggestion.
Is there parking at the apartment?
There is no parking at the building. The flat sits in the middle of Himarë town, a block back from the beach, on a street of shops. If you arrive by car you will be parking somewhere in the town rather than at the door.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in runs from 15:00 to 20:00 and check-out from 09:00 to 10:00. There is no reception desk, so the host needs your arrival time in advance: put it in the special-requests box when you book, or send it directly once the confirmation reaches you.
How do you pay at Apartment Alexis Stefanos?
In cash, at the property. Rates are quoted live on Booking.com and the stay itself is settled in cash on arrival, so bring notes or use one of the two banks within 160 metres of the door — a Raiffeisen and an OTP, both with ATMs.
What is within walking distance of the apartment?
Almost everything a week in Himarë needs. Inside 150 metres: a taverna at 24 metres, a bakery at 32, a minimarket at 53, a pharmacy at 62, the beach at 74, the Sarandë bus at 87, a supermarket at 110 and a bank at 113.
How do you get to Himarë?
Most visitors fly into Tirana International and drive south on the SH8 coast road over the Llogara pass — about 215 km, and roughly four hours. Sarandë and the Corfu ferry are 56 km south, about an hour and twenty minutes up the same road.
Is there a lift to the apartment?
No. The apartment is on an upper floor of the building and the stairs are the only way up, so it will not suit anyone who cannot manage a flight. The stairwell is the building's own — granite treads, a handrail on one side.
Does the apartment have a sea view?
No. The balcony looks at the mountain behind Himarë and out over the town, not at the water — the flat is one street back from the front. The sea is 74 metres away on foot; it is simply not what you see from the balcony.
