Himare – Lukove – Borsh – Himare

Today we head into the gentle hills south of Himarë, where time seems to move at a slower pace. In the village of Lukovë, we wander through its narrow alleys before entering long stretches of olive groves, their terraces carefully shaped by human hands. Many of these slopes were carved during the communist era, when prisoners were forced to terraform the landscape entirely by hand.
After a gentle descent with coastal views, we reach the quiet southern end of Bunec Beach. Here, the wide horizon, calm sea, pebble beach and striking emptiness feel almost like a scene from a deserted film set. Following the shoreline, we pass a relic of concrete quays before climbing a little-used path back into the terraced hills, with turquoise waters shimmering below us.
The trail continues along the hillside, wrapped in a Mediterranean atmosphere of herbs and sea breezes, until we reach the longest beach of the Riviera in Borsh. There’s time for a refreshing swim and cool drink before our transfer brings us back to the hotel.
