Beach

Know before you go

Just north of Himarë town, Livadhi opens up: a kilometre-plus of pebble shore backed by olive groves that roll down almost to the water. It's the Riviera's most accommodating beach — room for everyone, sunbeds and free sections, calm water, and a line of tavernas where lunch can comfortably absorb the afternoon.

Families love it, couples love it, and its proximity to Himarë means real-town amenities are five minutes away.

Where to eat

Eating well here

Feet-in-the-pebbles tavernas

Livadhi's tavernas grill the morning's fish a few metres from your sunbed — long lunches are the local sport.

Mussels and raki

Order midhje (mussels) steamed in white wine, and accept the raki that follows.

Sunset aperitivo bars

The bay faces west — beach bars at the northern end own the sunset.

Things to do

Don’t leave without

Swim the length

The calm, open water makes Livadhi the best beach on the coast for a proper long swim.

Walk to Himarë

A coastal stroll over the headland drops you into Himarë's promenade for ice cream.

Olive grove wander

The groves behind the beach are centuries old — shady, silvery and beautiful in the late light.
