Velco BB · Potam

Finding it

Rruga Vangjel Zoto runs through Potam, the hamlet south-east of Himarë town, and that street is the SH8 — the coast road itself. The house is on it, above the olive terraces, 340 metres in a straight line from the nearest edge of the beach and some 24 metres above it.

Getting to Potam

The SH8 is the coast road down the Albanian Riviera, and the buses between Vlorë, Sarandë and Tirana all stop in Himarë. From the town it is 1.3 kilometres south-east on that same road, and the house is on it. The guide's page on getting here covers the routes and the seasons in full.

Parking is private, free and on site, which is the part that matters once you are here — the road down to Potami Beach is narrow in August. If you are comparing houses, the guide keeps a list of places to stay in Himarë.

Dinner does not need a car either: Taverna Velco is on the ground floor of this building.
