Pirate Cave, Dhërmi
Shpella e Piratëve
A sea cave at the southern end of Dhërmi Beach that can be entered by small boat or by swimming. The water inside is a bright blue-green.
The Pirate Cave is a sea cave beneath the rocky shore at the southern end of Dhërmi Beach. It can be entered by rowing boat or by swimming, and legend says it was once a hideout for pirates. When sunlight pours in through the entrance, the water inside turns a bright blue-green. Visitors can swim and snorkel inside the cave, and some parts have small pebble beaches. In summer, speedboats, kayaks and paddleboards can be rented at Dhërmi Beach. A half-day boat trip often combines the cave with Gjipe Beach, and the boat fare is about 10 to 20 euros per person. Entry is banned when the waves are rough, and swimming to the cave requires good stamina.
