Hidden Treasures of Himare: From Vuno’s Charm to a Secret Beach Paradise

This summer, I embarked on a road-trip around Albania, and my time in Himare left me in awe. #holidayvacation 🏡 We started our day with a visit to Vuno, a picturesque village perched on the hills. The charm of its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and breathtaking views made it a must-visit. While strolling through the village, we stopped at a cozy bar on the main road for a coffee. The experience felt so authentic - just locals and the serene ambiance of a place untouched by time. #exploring 🏖️ Our next adventure was a hidden beach near Kico Meniko in Spile. We parked at Plazhi i Livadhit beach and took a short hike through the rugged mountain trail. The journey itself was worth it, offering stunning views and a sense of adventure. #hikingtrails #adventure Arriving at Kico Meniko felt like stepping inti paradise.
