Follow the stone lanes

Dhërmi’s hillside lanes lead past stone houses and historic churches, including St Mary and St Stephen.

Start with a village wander, then pause for the views towards the Ionian Sea.

A historic route to the sea

The Mills Trail, or Shtegu i Mullinjve, is the historic route between the village and the sea, passing old mills.

Stay for the setting

A hillside hotel suits travellers who enjoy village architecture and a view towards the coast. Check transport for your beach days.

Zoe Hora offers hotel rooms and suites in restored old-village houses. It is a village stay rather than a beachfront hotel.

Leave time to wander

Plan a village visit around the day’s heat and wear shoes suited to slopes and uneven lanes.

Historic church descriptions do not establish daily opening hours. Check local access if a particular interior is part of your plans.
