  • 5/5 Marlind G. 4 years ago on Google
    The Beach of Durrës is the biggest and most visited beach in Albania. It lines the seafront of the city of Durrës and is about 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) long. A number of notable Hotels overlook the beach. This destination is popular with people from Albania(mainly from Middle and North Albania), Kosovo and the Macesinia. It is also a popular summer and weekend destination for the people of Tirana and Durrës. The estimated number of tourists, most of whom frequent the beach during the summer period, is about 600,000 a year

    After Montenegro and Croatia, we found this beach very dirty and water also not clear. It's OK to have a dip and refresh a bit, but I was shocked how dirty even the part in front of the hotel is. Why do people just leave their plastic stuff everywhere?!

    The beach was very dirty and the water wasn't clear at all. There was a lot of litter and plastic trash. I wonder if other beaches in Albania are nicer. Beaches in Montenegro, Croatia and Greece are a lot cleaner and nicer than this one.

    Plazhi I Durresit in Albania one of the most lovely and well-known. It is amazing not only for fantastic seashore but for bars , restaurants, hotels , creative centers , night clubs and more. It can be riched very easy because of good infrastructure and others facilities. The beach of Durres offer great vacations just because of great opportunities around it. From here you can visit other city like Durres, Torana

    (Translated by Google) Beach in Durres. A lot of beach chairs, certainly enough for everyone. Sand a little darker than in Poland. The sea is very shallow on the entire width, 200 m from the shore, water on the belt. (Original) Plaża w Durres. Bardzo dużo leżaków , na pewno dla wszystkich wystarczy. Piasek trochę ciemniejszy niż w Polsce. Morze na całej szerokości bardzo płytkie, 200 m od brzegu woda po pas.

  • 4/5 Carolina R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I can say that I really liked the beach of Durres, fine sand, everything costs nothing, nobody bothers you, a quiet and easy-going place for families, well-equipped beaches with sun-beds and umbrellas for € 2 all day, surrounded of bars and cafeterias and mini-markets to fill up with fresh mineral water, because in August the heat is felt, pity the sea water is not very clear, very cloudy on the shore. (Original) Posso dire che la spiaggia di Durazzo mi è piaciuta veramente tanto, sabbia fine, tutto costa niente, nessuno ti dà fastidio, un posto tranquillo e alla mano per le famiglie, spiagge ben attrezzate con lettino ed ombrelloni per €2 tutto il giorno, circondata di bar e caffetterie e minimarket per fare il pieno dell'acqua minerale fresca, perché ad agosto il caldo si fa sentire, peccato che l'acqua del mare non è limpidissima, molto torbida in riva.

    It is actually clean beach. The part of the beach that I was using had a club/bar/coffee place and kind of their own fensed beach with brand new chairs. It was not over crowded. And the weather was really good so overall left a good impression.

  • 3/5 Андрій �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The sea is nothing special. Dark sand shallow to a depth of 100-150 meters. Of the pros a lot of sunbeds, cheap umbrella and two sunbeds 300 lek. Cheap restaurants and cafes. Compared to Vlora, Dermi is twice as cheap. It is not necessary to go for 1500 km. I recommend going south of Chika. (Original) Море нічого особливого. Темний пісок мілко до глибини йти 100-150 метрів. З плюсів багато шезлонгів, дешево парасолька і два шезлонга 300 лек. Дешеві ресторани та кафешки. В порівнянні з Вльорою, Дермі в два рази дешевше. Не варто їхати за 1500 км. Рекомендую їхати південніше Чіки.

  • 4/5 fcxxff 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very long and wide, sandy beach with a gentle descent to the sea. Along the promenade there are numerous bars and restaurants with affordable prices. Comfortable sunbeds. The sand is fine, and in the sea you can find crabs, fish needles, jellyfish and other colorful fish, which we were unable to identify. The only minus the packaging of chips, pips and other garbage floating right on the shore and countless numbers of pet in the sand by the sunbeds. On the plus side, showers and toilets at the beach descent. (Original) Bardzo długa i szeroka, piaszczysta plaża z łagodnym zejściem do morza. Wzdłuż promenady liczne bary i restauracje z przystępnymi cenami.Wygodne leżaki. Piasek jest drobny,a w morzu można spotkać kraby, igliczniki,meduzy i inne kolorowe rybki, których nie udało nam się zidentyfikować. Jedyny minus opakowania po chipsach,pestki i inne śmieci pływające tuż przy brzegu oraz niezliczone ilości petów w piasku przy leżakach. Na plus prysznice i toalety przy zejściach z plaży.

    The beach is very clean and the place is beautiful and if you like walking you may feel surprised on the west side of the beach because there is a virgin beach ahead it’s perfect for couples who wants some privacy The food is ok I guess and the prices are normal. Good place though good memories 😊😊

  • 3/5 Mihail G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The large length and width of the beach area, the water is clear and calm, sunbathing and swimming is just what you need. It was in the last week of September, the weather is great, BUT SEASON IS ALREADY CLOSED, SEASON IS ALREADY CLOSED, there are nobody on weekdays, maybe 100 people on the whole beach and the resort was no more, on weekends the local ones pulled themselves up, 5-7 hotels worked for the whole resort, two restaurants, two or three bars in which the locals had a rest in the evening and then there were 10-15 people in total, two grocery stores, and one tent with then beach accessories and that's it in the evening sku there is nowhere to go. There is a lot of garbage on the beach, as well as throughout the resort, it’s actually dirty, of course it’s not the season, but still it’s not very pleasant. I DO NOT ADVISE to come here in September, as I don’t know in summer, it might be better, but check I do not want. (Original) Большая протяженность и ширина пляжной зоны ,вода прозрачная и спокойная ,позагорать и искупаться самое то что надо .Были в последнюю неделю сентября ,погода отличная ,НО ЯВНО УЖЕ ЗАКРЫТ СЕЗОН ,на пляже в рабочие дни никого нет, может человек 100 на весь пляж и курорт не более,в выходные немного местные подтянулись,на весь курорт работало от силы 5-7 отелей ,два ресторана,два -три бара в которых вечером отдыхали местные и то человек 10-15 всего,два продовольственных магазина,и одна палатка с какими то пляжными принадлежностями и все ,вечером скукота и податься некуда .На пляже как и на всем курорте очень много мусора,собственно грязновато,может конечно и не сезон ,но все таки очень не приятно.Ехать сюда в сентябре НЕ СОВЕТУЮ,как тут летом не знаю ,может лучше ,но проверять не хочу.

    (Translated by Google) I didn't like the beach. Firstly, the water is rather dirty and secondly, it is very shallow. It takes a very long time to go for the depth to begin. On the beach are a relic of yesteryear, namely a cafe shaped like a flying saucer. But the city itself looks rather exotic for a European tourist. (Original) Пляж мне не понравился. Во первых вода довольно грязная и во вторых сильно мелководье. Надо очень долго идти чтобы началась глубина. На пляже стоят пережиток прошлых лет, а именно кафе форме летающей тарелки.
