Båtturer i Himara

Varje stopp en skeppare i Himara kan tänkas peka ut. Havsgrottor, lugna vikar, vita stenstränder och 2 500 år gamla sjömansinskrifter.

Vilka båtturer utgår från Himara?

En båttur i Himara kostar 30–60 € per person för en speedbåtstur i grupp, från halvdagsutflykter till heldagskryssningar längs den albanska Rivieran. Den klassiska halvdagsturen till Piratgrottan tar cirka 3 timmar och kostar från omkring 30 € per person, med havsgrottor och badstopp nära stan. Heldagsturen till Gramabukten tar cirka 5–5,5 timmar och kostar från omkring 58 €. Den går till den avlägsna viken med dess antika sjömansinskrifter, oftast via Gjipe och Blå grottan. En halvdagstur till Porto Palermo från omkring 20 € går söderut till Ali Pashas borg, ubåtstunneln från kalla kriget och lugna vikar som Filikuri. De flesta turer avgår från Himaras hamn på morgonen, har badstopp och kan bokas som gruppturer eller privata charterturer.

Klassiska stopp

Havsgrottorna och de avlägsna vikarna är själva anledningen att ta båten längs Himarakusten. De flesta turer byggs kring ett par av dem.

Vanliga frågor om båtturer i Himara

Vad kostar en båttur i Himara?

Gruppturer med snabbåt börjar på cirka 30 € per person för halvdagsturen till Piratgrottan. Heldagsturen till Gramabukten kostar runt 58 € per person och halvdagsturen till Porto Palermo från cirka 20 €. En privat båt kostar 150–500 € för hela båten.

Är båtturerna i Himara säkra för barn?

Ja. Flytvästar finns för alla åldrar och halvdagsturen till Piratgrottan är lugn nog för barnfamiljer. De grunda badstoppen passar barn bra. Snabbåten kan gunga i eftermiddagsvågorna, så morgonturer är bäst för små barn.

Behöver jag boka båtturen i Himara i förväg?

I juli och augusti bör du boka minst en dag i förväg. De populära morgonturerna fylls först. I juni och september går det oftast bra att gå direkt till bodarna på Spile Beach. Bokar du online är platsen garanterad och priset fast.

Vad händer om vädret är dåligt?

Turerna ställs in vid hård vind eller storm, och arrangörerna erbjuder ombokning eller återbetalning. De norra rutterna ställs in först, medan den skyddade halvdagsturen till Porto Palermo ofta ändå går. Regniga morgnar klarnar ofta upp till eftermiddagen.

Vilken båttur i Himara ska jag välja?

Välj halvdagsturen till Piratgrottan om du har en förmiddag. Välj heldagsturen till Gramabukten om du har en hel dag – den når den mest orörda viken på Rivieran och Blå grottan. Blåsiga dagar är den skyddade rutten till Porto Palermo det säkra valet.
