Potam · Himarë · Albania

Sunrise and sunset
right from your bed

That is how the house puts it, and the ground under it is the reason: Velco BB stands on the olive terraces above the shore at Potam, high enough that the water starts where the trees stop. Every room has a balcony. Breakfast is included, and it is downstairs.

Ground floor

Taverna Velco is downstairs

The room that serves breakfast in the morning is a Greek seafood taverna in the evening, and it trades under its own name to anyone who walks in off the road. It keeps its own pages, with its own kitchen and its own hours, so there is no point in repeating them here.

The ground it stands on

340 metres from the water

Potam is the hamlet south-east of Himarë town, and its shore — Potami Beach — sits below the olive terraces the balconies look across: 340 metres in a straight line to the nearest edge of it, and some 24 metres of height. Rruga Vangjel Zoto runs past the door, and it is the SH8 itself, so the car stays here and the walk down is downhill the whole way.

If you are still deciding, the guide keeps a list of places to stay in Himarë and a page on getting here by bus, ferry and road.
