view the best beach places
If this beach is rated #18 in Albania then the others must be heavenly beaches as this is the best beach I have ever visited.
We were a bit taken aback when we drove from Durres and had to pass through an industrial area, onto a rough road with the sea on one side and a marshy marshland on the other. We almost considered turning back, but luckily we decided to continue until the road's end. At that point, we discovered a parking area and as we ascended the hill and reached the summit, a stunning beach came into view. It was not overly crowded and we managed to find sunbeds right at the water's edge. It was a small, hidden treasure and definitely worth visiting.
We decided to visit the beach after finding out that the restaurant was closed. It was definitely worth it! We had a great time here. The water was peaceful and transparent, and the beach was exceptionally clean. Since it's a private beach, we had to pay 5000lek per person for a hammock, and it wasn't allowed to simply lay on the sand. However, it was still worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic walk from Durrës, surrounded by beautiful nature.
Please keep in mind that the location you are rating is a government-owned facility with limited public access. It is likely that you are actually referring to one of the nearby private beaches.
We stayed at the hotel for four nights in August and paid 110 euros per night. The room was nice overall, but there was an issue with the bathroom door that my little sister got stuck in. It was concerning because there was no window or proper ventilation. Luckily, I was able to save her. The breakfast was not very extensive, but it was okay. One thing I didn't like was the designated wake-up time, which required guests to be up between 8 and 10 am. While the prices were reasonable, the service at the hotel was consistently rude and they always seemed to try to manipulate customers with their prices. On a positive note, the beach itself was good and everything else about the hotel was fine. However, the parking situation was poor and the parking attendant seemed reckless. If your car gets damaged, they do not take responsibility for it, so I would not recommend staying at this hotel.
This place is absolutely breathtaking! If you're interested in hiking to the beach, you can begin your journey from Palase. Just look for the church located at the far end of the beach, and that's where you'll start. The path leading there always stays close to the shoreline and is quite straightforward to navigate. We managed to reach our destination in just 2 hours and 10 minutes by walking briskly. I suggest going there early so you can fully savor the beach, and don't forget to bring an ample supply of water.
