Gjiri i Kalit, often referred to as the 'Horse Bay,' is a beautifully secluded inlet near Dhërmi, a true testament to the Albanian Riviera's capacity for hidden wonders. This low-visibility bay is a reward for those willing to venture slightly off the well-trodden path, offering an experience of pristine nature untouched by commercial development. The water here is a mesmerizing shade of turquoise, so clear that the pebbled seabed is visible even at considerable depths.
“Its low visibility and boat-only access make it a truly hidden, pristine bay near Dhërmi, offering unparalleled seclusion.”
