About Gjiri I Hartës Beach

Gjiri i Hartës is a secluded beach in a bay near Ksamil on the Albanian Riviera coast. The beach has a small public part where you can just put down your towel, as well as a large privately operated beach. From the beach you can see the local fishermen at work with the large fishing traps and on the horizon you can see Ksamil and the Ksamil Islands.

How To Get To Gjiri I Hartës Beach

You can reach Gjiri i Hartës via the road between Saranda and Ksamil, from where you exit just before Ksamil, passing by the local fish market. Parking is free at the beach so the easiest way to get there is with your own car, rental car or motorbike, but taxis from Saranda or Ksamil will also bring you there and pick you up. You can also take the bus between Saranda and Butrint which will drop you off at the exit of the main road. From there you can already see the beach, so it’s not that far of a walk.
