About This Tour

Pirates Cave is one of the Albanian Riviera's most striking natural wonders, carved into the cliffs along the Ionian coast between Dhërmi and Himara. Local legend says the cave was used as a hideout during the Ottoman period, and once you slip through the narrow entrance you'll see why — the interior glows with ethereal blue light reflecting off the water and pale limestone. We give you plenty of time to swim and explore the chambers before continuing along the coast.
