Spend a full day on a speedboat from Vlorë exploring the Blue Cave, Grama Bay, and secret coves of the Karaburun Peninsula. Expect crystal water, snorkeling stops, and cliffs carved by the Adriatic.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Vlorë’s marina as the city shrinks behind you, the speedboat slicing a glass-blue Adriatic toward the raw Karaburun coastline. Cliffs loom, gulls wheel, and the sea seems to pull you into a chain of caves and hidden bays where sunlight finds narrow openings and turns the water electric.

Pack a waterproof bag
Protect phones, documents, and a change of clothes from splashes and quick swims.
