Spile · Himarë · Albania

The Spile end
of the bay.

Spile is the old quarter of Himarë, where the town meets the water. Rruga Jorgji Bollano — the coast road — passes within fifteen metres of the building; the pedestrian Rruga 2 Dhjetori runs a few steps further, and most of the town's tavernas are on it.

Along the shore

The sixty metres are to Spile, the town beach. Everything under it on this list is a walk south along the same water; the coves worth a drive begin where the list ends.

Arriving

The SH8 coast road runs past the door, so a car or the intercity coach both stop within a minute's walk. Free private parking is on site, including an accessible bay — reserve a space when you book, because the number is limited.

The hotel can arrange an airport transfer at extra cost. Ask for it before you travel rather than on arrival.

The front desk is staffed twenty-four hours, so a late arrival is not a problem.
