2-Day Water Ski & Riviera Adventure: Palasa & Dhërmi

Looking for an active getaway that goes beyond just lying on the sand? Our 2-day Palasa and Dhërmi tour by Fiori Travel & Tours Agency (fioritravel.al) hits the sweet spot between coastal adrenaline and local culture.

If you want to try water skiing on the crystal-clear waters of the Albanian Riviera and wander through centuries-old stone villages, this trip is built for you.

Trip Breakdown

Day 1: Coastline Drives & Hitting the Water in Palasa

• Morning Departure from Tirana: We kick things off early in central Tirana. Grab a coffee, meet the crew, and jump in. The drive south toward Himarë is famous for a reason—the scenic views of the Albanian Riviera from the window are incredible.

• Water Skiing at Palasa Beach: Once we arrive in Palasa, it’s straight to the water. Don’t worry if you’ve never water skied before; we provide all the necessary gear and a professional instructor to get you up on the board. You get about an hour of solid water time before crashing on the beach to catch your breath.

• Castles & Coastal Picnics: After burning all those calories, we’ll stop for a high-protein lunch break. We spend the late afternoon exploring the local castle of Palasa, followed by a relaxed scenic picnic. We wrap up day one by heading to the hotel for dinner and a good night’s sleep.

Day 2: Old Dhërmi Charm & Round Two on the Water

• Exploring the Historic Village: We start the morning heading up to Old Dhërmi. Tucked right into the slopes of the Ceraunian Mountains, this traditional village is full of steep, narrow alleys, old stone houses, and historic churches. The panoramic views looking out over the Ionian Sea from up here are hard to beat.

• Back to the Beach: Later, we head back down to Palasa. You’ll get a second water skiing session to practice what you learned yesterday. Afterward, take some free time to grab lunch, snap some photos, or pick up local souvenirs.

• Heading Home: We make one last quick stop in Dhërmi to soak in the coastline view before making the drive back, dropping you off in Tirana to conclude the tour.
