Vuno
A stone village on the hillside above Jale, where tiered stone houses overlook the sea. It is the starting point for hikes to Gjipe Beach and Jale.
Vuno is a traditional stone village on the hillside beside the SH8 road. Its grey-white stone houses are stacked along the slope. The village has several old Orthodox churches, including the Church of Saint Spyridon, and there are views over Jale Bay and the Ionian Sea. A youth hostel in a converted old schoolhouse was once a gathering place for backpackers. Trails from here lead down to Jale Beach and the Gjipe canyon. The village is very small, so it suits a stop for photos and coffee during a drive, or a starting point for a hike of about an hour.
