Saranda – Porto Palermo – Himare

Leave Sarandë with a demanding climb towards Nivicë and Shën Vasil. After reaching the higher ground, continue along the Ionian coast through villages, olive groves and citrus orchards.

The route reaches Porto Palermo, where you can visit the peninsula castle and see the former submarine facilities in the bay. Continue north to Himare, with the coastal mountains on one side and the sea on the other.

The day ends at a hotel near the beach, with time to rest after the initial climb and long coastal stage.
