Qeparo, a Hidden Gem of the Albanian Riviera

Qeparo lies 13 kilometers south of Himara, just past the bay of Porto Palermo. In recent years, it has become a favorite destination for both local and foreign tourists.
Travelers heading to the southern coast enjoy good road connections. The roads between the villages offer easy access and stunning views. The Ionian Sea’s crystal-blue waters contrast beautifully with the green hills.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images of Qeparo’s coastal road on social media. He called it a pearl of the Albanian Riviera.
Qeparo is one of the oldest villages on the coast. It reflects centuries of local life and culture.
The village has two parts. The upper village sits on a hill and keeps its traditional stone houses and olive groves. Families have lived there for generations. The historical center features declared cultural monuments, including homes and religious buildings.
The lower village stretches along the beach. A new promenade runs along the shoreline. This addition gives Qeparo the charm of a Mediterranean tourist village. It preserves the area’s original features and traditions.
