Between Himara and Llamani
Hidden gem; rarely crowded — access filters out casual visitors
Over Filikuri Beach
Filikuri Beach is a hidden gem tucked below high limestone cliffs between Himara town and Llamani Beach, sealed off from casual drop-in traffic by its own terrain. There's no road to the shoreline — you reach it on foot, by kayak, or by boat — and that access filter is exactly why it stays one of the most unspoiled coves on the Riviera. What you get for the effort: a small pebble strip, rock walls on both sides, and transparent Ionian water that usually looks better in person than in photos. The seabed drops away faster than at family beaches, so this suits confident swimmers and snorkelers more than young kids. With no permanent cafes, bars, or sunbeds, Filikuri rewards travelers who want a genuinely off-grid few hours rather than a serviced beach-club afternoon.

Watercondities
Pristine turquoise; excellent snorkeling with colorful fish and rocky formations
Hoe kom je er
No direct road to the shoreline. Steep 20-30 minute foot trail from the upper road above the cove (start early, the climb out is harder than the way down); kayak/SUP from Himara or Potami (~1,000 ALL/hr, 25-50 min paddle in calm conditions); or a private boat drop-off (~15-25€/person). No shoreline parking — park informally near the upper trailhead.
