Grama Bay, located on the Karaburun Peninsula, is one of the most spectacular beaches in southern Albania. Each year, it attracts thousands of local and international tourists.

Tucked along the rugged coastline of Karaburun, the bay has become a favorite destination for hikers, sailors, and nature lovers. The Minister of Tourism and Environment, Mirela Kumbaro, recently shared scenic views of the bay on social media. Visitors can reach the site either by boat or on foot.

Grama Bay lies beneath the western slope of Mount Rrëza e Kanalit, west of the town of Orikum in Vlorë district. The bay extends several hundred meters inland and features a rocky shoreline with small coves and underwater caves.

Its natural landscape fascinates all visitors. In the past, sailors used the bay as a shelter from storms. During antiquity, it also served as a quarry. The Grama quarry was well known in the ancient world.

Sailors and stone workers carved inscriptions and names into the surrounding rocks—many of which remain visible today. This has led to the nickname “Cave of Inscriptions.” Archaeologists have studied these rock engravings, which hold significant historical value.

Grama Bay is not only a natural monument but also a site of scientific, historical, and cultural importance. Today, it functions as a small, intimate beach accessible by land or sea. It is especially popular among adventurers, cave explorers, and lovers of unspoiled nature.
