The Canyon of Gjipe is a striking natural gorge carved into limestone cliffs near Himare, ending at a pristine, secluded beach. A short hike through the canyon reveals towering rock walls and a crystal-clear stream, culminating in a pebble cove with turquoise waters. Popular for its unspoiled beauty, it offers opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and cliff jumping. The surrounding area is also great for nature walks and photography, making it a must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts.
