September has started with sunshine and full beaches along Albania’s coastline — and Himara is leading the way.

Mayor of Himara, Vangjel Tavo, shared vibrant images of packed beaches, writing on social media:
“September begins with sun, as locals and tourists continue to enjoy Himara’s beautiful shores.”

The Albanian Telegraphic Agency also released footage from the Albanian Riviera, showing beaches filled with both domestic and international visitors.

Himara continues to experience rising tourism numbers this season. Its crystal-clear waters and historic landmarks — especially the iconic Himara Castle — remain top attractions for travelers.

Foreign tourists have praised not only the natural beauty but also the town’s rich cultural heritage. Himara Castle, standing tall for over 3,500 years, completed its decorative lighting project in August. The newly installed lights now bathe the ancient site in color and elegance.

Minister of Economy, Culture, and Innovation, Blendi Gonxhja, called the investment a major boost to Himara’s tourism appeal.
