About Porto Palermo Beach

Porto Palermo Beach offers a unique combination of history and seaside beauty, situated near the iconic triangular fortress built by Ali Pasha and a Cold War-era submarine tunnel. The water here is notably bluer than at other beaches in the area, though water shoes are recommended on the mixed sand and pebble surface. With very few people around, it is an ideal spot for history buffs who want to combine a castle visit with a quiet swim.
