Description
We are a villa, a family business and we operate every summer season.
We are still working on many projects like building and planting more green!
We are inviting new people to join us because we need help, but also because we are open to other possible new ideas and perspectives.
One can enjoy swimming in the gorgeous blue beaches of Himare or take a boat trip to find more hidden blue spot. In Gjipe beach you can do free camping.
There are many hiking routes for the mountain lovers as well.
Himara holds an old castle from the Ottoman empire in an amazing spot down to Palermo beach and an ancient one at the top of the old city. There is a lot of history around our beautifull town that it used to be a village.
The very old church of the Byzantium times is another unique treasure of the village!
