Himare, Albania: A Mini Guide

Himare, Albania: A Mini Guide

This is a mini guide to Himare, Albania. I call it a mini guide since I am only covering one location. This guide will cover: -Ways to get to Himare -Where to stay in Himare -What to do/see in Himare -How much time to spend here -Essential information: currency, cash, driving, getting around, weather, time to visit, stores, etc. Himare is one of the most incredible places we've been in Albania and we felt so at home in this charming town. If you love finding incredible hidden gem beaches, relaxing in the sun, having amazing dinners in the evenings, and beautiful views surrounding you... Himare is your spot! The vibe here is very chilled out in the best way. It is also a close drive to quite a few other incredible day spots in Albania. If you plan to visit other parts of Albania as well I suggest you grab my full guide to 2 weeks in Albania!

Things to Know Before Traveling in Albania & Himare

Currency

The LEK is the name of the currency in Albania. You must have cash to travel throughout Albania and you definitely need to have cash to travel in Himare. I recommend you bring USD or Euros with you to Albania and exchange them at many of the exchange shops they have almost everywhere. There are exchange shops and ATM machines in Himare that are easily accessible.  You may have read that "Credins" bank is one of the only banks that does not charge an additional fee.  There is no "Credins" in Himare so if you're looking for that make sure that you hit one up in the North of Albania.  ATM's in HImare will charge a fee though we found it to be generally between 5-6 USD.  

Weather

The weather in Himare is beautiful between May-September.  We traveled here in early July and it was HOT.  The ocean breeze did make for cooler evenings which was very nice.  People in Himare seemed to start their days quite early, they generally take a break mid day to get out of the sun and the heat of the day and come back out in the evening.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years. One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself. My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip! My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
