Porto Palermo is a small, scenic bay along the Albanian Riviera, located between Himara and Qeparo. It is best known for the Porto Palermo Castle, a well-preserved fortress built by Ali Pasha of Tepelena in the early 19th century. The castle sits on a small peninsula and offers stunning views of the turquoise sea and surrounding mountains. The bay itself is calm, with crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling. Rich in history and natural beauty, Porto Palermo combines cultural heritage with peaceful seaside charm. It’s a must-visit destination for those exploring southern Albania.
