Overview

A small stop carved into the olive terraces on the slope above Himarë, run by a family who press their own oil. Five levelled places, each with a tap and a 10A socket, separated by drystone walls and old trees.

The footpath from the lowest terrace reaches a pebble cove in about twelve minutes down and twenty back up. It is steep, unlit and not suitable for anyone unsteady, but it is almost always empty.

The stop is deliberately small and does not take vehicles over 7 m. Book ahead in July and August; the family answers on WhatsApp faster than by phone.

Private land with permission. Ask the owner before you stay. Permission is personal, not automatic.

Directions and road access

Turn inland off the SH8 at the Himarë north junction and climb 1.4 km of concrete lane with three tight hairpins. Maximum length 7 m — this is enforced by the geometry, not by the family.

Access difficulty: Moderate — care needed

House rules

  • Harvest runs October–November; access may be restricted for a few days.
  • Do not park under the olive trees — the branches are older than the road.

    Had the cove entirely to ourselves for two mornings in August, which on this coast is a miracle. The path is genuinely steep — good shoes, and not after dark.

    Die 7-Meter-Grenze ist ernst gemeint. Mit 6,4 m war es schon spannend. Oben dann: Olivenbäume, Meerblick, absolute Ruhe. Das Öl haben wir gleich mitgenommen.
