ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Potami is the local beach: a long, broad bay just south of town where Himarë goes when Spile feels small. Fine grey sand underfoot, a shallow gradient, tavernas and beach bars at the village end and open stretches to the south — it handles August crowds better than anywhere near town and still finds room. The stream that gives it its name comes down from the hills behind; on spring days it runs cold across the beach.

FOOD & DRINK
Where to eat nearby
Seafood tavernas on the Spile waterfront — grilled octopus and the day’s catch on decks over the water; the coast’s best taverna row.
Family tavernas in Potam and Potami village — Greek-leaning kitchen, grilled fish and mezze away from the promenade prices.
HOTELS & STAYS
Where to stay nearby
Boutique hotels and guesthouses between Spile and the centre — sea-view rooms, tavernas and the xhiro promenade at the door.
Beach hotels and family camps at Livadhi and Potami — sand-first stays for beach days, quieter than the town strip.
