More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the pebbled shore of Dhërmi onto a low-slung boat and the coastline unspools: limestone cliffs scoring the Adriatic, caves yawning like stage doors, and water so clear it seems to measure depth by color alone.

History
The coves and caves have long served local fishermen and small-scale smugglers; rock inscriptions and seafaring lore tie the coastline to centuries of coastal livelihoods.
Conservation
The Karaburun area is sensitive—avoid disturbing cave walls and marine habitat, take all trash back to shore, and favor reef-safe sunscreens to protect local sea life.

Bring water shoes
Be ready for rocky beaches and boat ladders—grippy shoes make getting in and out of the water safer and more comfortable.
Go early for calm seas
Morning departures usually offer the best water visibility and gentler conditions for cave swims.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect both your skin and marine life—sunscreen washes off while you swim and can harm local ecosystems.
Know your swim limits
Some cave entries require basic open-water swimming; if you’re uncomfortable, ask to stay on the boat or near the ladder.
Snorkel mask (personal)
If you prefer a familiar fit, bringing your own mask improves comfort and visibility.
