No road, no resorts, no noise — a bay of fine pale pebbles and glass-clear water that you can only reach by sea.

Krorëz — also written Kakome — is what the southern Riviera looked like before anyone built anything. A wide bay of fine pale pebbles between green headlands, water that fades from absolute clarity into deep blue, and not a road in sight: the only practical way in is the boats that run from Sarandë through the summer.
That isolation is the entire offer. Beyond a seasonal bar (don't count on it), there's nothing here but the bay — which, after the bustle of Sarandë and Ksamil, is exactly the point. Pack a day bag, board a morning boat, and spend the day somewhere the coast forgot to develop.
Day-trip boats leave Sarandë's harbour on summer mornings, returning late afternoon — buy tickets at the waterfront kiosks a day ahead in peak season. A rough footpath from Lukovë exists for determined hikers.
Almost nothing, gloriously: pebbles, water, shade at the edges, and at most a seasonal bar. Bring water, food, and sun cover — and carry everything back out.
June and September give you the bay at its emptiest. Snorkel the rocky edges; the clarity here is the best on the southern coast.
Krorëz belongs to the quiet south — Bunec and Lukovë village are its road-accessible neighbours.
Sleep in Sarandë for the morning boat, or in Ksamil for the famous water the day after.
Boats land back in Sarandë in time for the Lëkurësi Castle sunset above the bay.
