We’re proud to share that Dhermi Boat Tours is featured in the new Lonely Planet guide to Albania, published in March 2026. In the section about Gjipe Beach, the guide names us as the way to visit Gjipe by boat from Dhermi.
For a local company that started on Dhermi beach in 2017, this means a lot. Thank you to all the guests who have sailed with us over the years. You made this possible.
What the guide says
Lonely Planet writes that Gjipe is still free of major development, because you can’t drive down to the beach. Visitors can walk down from the parking lot near the Monastery of Saint Theodore, or take a boat tour with Dhermi Boat Tours, with a stop at the Pirates Cave on the way.
