Potam Beach · Himarë · Albania

Finding it

Potam is the shore quarter about a kilometre south of Himarë. The road down to the beach runs past the door, and the sand starts on the other side of it.

Getting down here

From Himarë town, take the coast road south for about 1.1 km and turn down towards Potam beach. There is a run of restaurants along this stretch of shore, so watch for the name on the front rather than counting doors.

Coming up from Borsh or Saranda, Potam arrives before the town itself — the turn is on your left as the road drops to sea level.
