Dhermi Village

The village of Dhermi, on the side of a mountain overlooking the Ionian sea. The beach at the feet of the mountain is one of the best in Albania. Beware of the prices though, very expensive for Albanian standards. The last years it hasn't been that clean as well. Garbage all around and trash bins full, if you managed to find any. Let's hope it will be better next year. The government is spending a lot to improve Albania's image and tourism income.

A great structure, still standing after so many centuries. Always people take photos from within the church but I really liked this one. More info on this church can be found here.

Descending from Muzine's neck you reach the village bearing the same name. Between the houses you can't miss the church, one of the most characteristic buildings. There is another pic of it in one of my previous posts, the one with the village covered in light fog. Great place to meditate, plenty of water, fruits and vegetables too :D

A very old church in a very great scenic location. I couldn't get closer but next time I may pay it a visit. From where I was standing, it looked like some valley in Toscana.
