## Position

Coordinates: 40.1143282, 19.7309471
Address: Himare-Livadh road, Himare, 9425, Vlore County, Albania

This is Booking.com's own map centre. Google Maps' pin for the same entity is 40.1143735,
19.7309787, about 6 m away - the closest agreement of any property in this batch.

A DIFFERENT property, Aphrodite's Garden, holds its own Booking listing 13 m from this point on the
same road. They are separate businesses with separate listings, galleries and scores. Nothing on
this site is taken from that one.

Measured against OpenStreetMap from the coordinate above. Bearings are degrees true.

- Keshtjella e Himares (the castle): 389 m at 9deg

- Plazhi i Livadhit: 980 m at 212deg
- Plazhi i Himares: 1.9 km at 143deg

The listing's own line says "1.2 miles from Livadhi Beach", nearly double the measured 980 m. The
measured figure is the one published.

Booking.com: 9.7 out of 10 (Exceptional).

Reported on that platform's own scale, and not averaged with any other platform.

## Not published, and why

- Star rating: no first-party source states one.
- Room types, sizes and count: the listing publishes none of the three.
- Telephone and email: the Google panel lists a number that no channel the property controls
  prints, and the Booking listing carries none.
- Rates: the property publishes none on any channel it controls.
- Restaurant menu, cuisine and opening hours: none is published first-party.
- Whether breakfast is included: it is rate-dependent and not stated for the property as a whole.
