Holiday apartment in Palasë: Beach, mountains and history

Palasë lies on the slope of Mount Çika and is the first coastal village after crossing the Llogara Pass. Palasa Beach lies at the entrance to the Albanian Riviera, near the Llogara Pass on the coast of the Ionian Sea. Palasa Beach is also part of Palasë – this brings together the coastal landscape, mountain scenery and historical traces in a shared village setting. Palasë is easily accessible from larger cities such as Vlora.

Coast and nature

Palasa Beach is characterised by small white stones and stretches for more than 1.5 km. Its natural surroundings form a landscape between mountains and sea. The coastal landscape also includes Rrugët e Bardha, a beach in Palasë and a destination for coastal tourism. This means that different facets of nature exist side by side in the same place: the long stretch of beach and the delta of the Palasë River, which is classified as a category III natural monument and is a resource for nature tourism.

Village setting and history

A centuries-old plane tree stands in the centre of Palasë. The village is characterised by narrow cobblestone streets; they lead to white houses with courtyards full of pergolas and pots of carnations. At the same time, behind this rural appearance lies an earlier maritime significance: Palasë was once a major port where trade was conducted. The history of the village is thus reflected both in its organically developed character and in its former role by the sea.

Sea and cultural traces

Grama Bay adds a special historical setting to the coastal landscape. There are more than 1,500 Greek epigrams there. Grama Bay is accessible exclusively by sea. The tourist infrastructure at Palasa Beach is also suitable for families. Thus, cultural evidence, a clearly defined form of accessibility and an explicitly family-friendly tourism setting come together on the coast.

Paths and active experiences

Palasa Beach serves as an arrival point for air sports enthusiasts who parachute from the Llogara Pass. The path taken by Caesar and his army is also accessible to those interested in nature and history; it is considered a tourist destination. Another named route is “SHTEGU PALASE (RRUGET E BARDHA) – GJIRI I SHEN ANDREUT”. It leads from the delta of the Palasë River to Gjiri i Shën Ndreut Bay.
