Gjipe

Gjipe Beach is possibly the best-kept secret of the Albanian Riviera.

You do need to take a 30 minutes walk (around 1.5 kilometers) to reach it. Never fear, you’re walking under the bathing sunlight along a red soil path. (just keep in mind that you’ll need to walk back later).

Gjipe is my favorite beach on the Albanian Riviera. It has a wild, simple and kind of alternative atmosphere, clear emerald water, and a majestic stage: it is nestled among the rocky cliffs whose color ranges from red to gray and white, dotted with the green of the shrubs.

Gjipe is one of the beautiful beaches on the Karaburun peninsula, which is part of the National Marine Park -hence preserved and well-taken care of.
