Dhërmi

Plazhe dhe beach club-e — lively Riviera beaches.

A village on the slopes of the Ceraunian Mountains, about 42 km south of Vlorë just below the Llogara descent, with its long beach below (also known by its Greek name, Drymades). One of the Riviera's best-known summer beaches, with clear water and a lively high-season scene.
