Dhërmi Village

Dhërmi

An old Greek-speaking stone village on the mountainside with stone lanes, a bell tower and more than thirty small churches, overlooking Dhërmi Bay.

The old village of Dhërmi is built on the hillside above the beach. Most residents belong to the Greek-speaking community. Stone houses, flagstone lanes and old cafés under grapevines preserve its traditional character. The village and its surroundings contain more than thirty Orthodox churches and chapels. The most famous is the Monastery of Panagia, perched on a rocky outcrop with views over the whole bay. In summer the beach is lively, while the old village is much quieter. There are many family guesthouses and mountain-view restaurants. It is about 5 minutes by car up from the beach. Entry is free.
