The Canyon of Gjipe, near Dhërmi, Albania, is a breathtaking natural attraction renowned for its pristine beach nestled at the mouth of a dramatic gorge. Accessibility to the beach requires a moderately challenging hike down a dirt road or path from a parking area above (approximately 30-45 minutes), making sturdy footwear essential and potentially difficult for those with significant mobility issues. While the beach and initial canyon entrance are safe for solo exploration, venturing deeper into the narrow gorge beyond the beach is more adventurous and may benefit from a guided tour, especially for canyoning. The ideal time to visit is from late spring to early autumn (May-October) for pleasant hiking and swimming conditions, as winter months can be cold with higher water levels. Entry to the canyon and beach is generally free, though parking fees may apply at the top, and costs for boat transfers or guided canyoning are extra. A typical visit, allowing for the hike and beach relaxation, usually spans half a day to a full day. Visitors should bring plenty of water, snacks, sun protection, and be aware of limited amenities on-site.
