Arxontiko · Spile, Himarë

Look for the sign over the bay

On the Spile seafront in Himarë, on the ground floor of the ARXONTIKO hotel — the black-framed glass front under the hanging sign, water across the road.

From the door

  • The seafront road, then the wateracross the road
  • Spile Beach50 m
  • Prinos Beach350 m
  • Potam Beachabout 1 km on foot around the headland
  • Himarë Castle and the old village4 km — about 10 minutes up the hill
  • Porto Palermo8 km south — about 15 minutes

Fifty of those metres are the road and then the beach: Spile, the beach the town swims off. Walk the front either way and you are among the rest of Himarë’s restaurants; what the boards along it tend to say is explained dish by dish.

When to ring first

There are no set opening times published here. Ringing +355 69 380 6330 is the only way to know what is running today. Payment is cash; the nearest machine is about a hundred metres up the seafront, towards the centre of Himarë.

A different number, +355 69 839 7183, reaches the hotel desk upstairs rather than the restaurant.
