Reviewed By Nightride B - Germany, Bavaria
Wir waren heute an der Burg von Borsh. Der Weg geht im Ort (nahe der Quelle) auf einem Schotterweg zwischen den Häusern den Berg hinauf. An der Straße steht ein braunes Hinweisschild. Am Ende der Straße ist ein Parkplatz mit einem Hinweis und Informationsschild zur Burg. Es geht ein super ausgebauter Fußweg hoch zum Eingang.
Die Burg ist sehr groß und neben dem Eingang findet sich eine alte Moschee aus dem 18 Jhdt.
Die Burg ist leider wenig beschrieben aber es finden sich zwei tolle Ausblicke: einmal auf die Berge und einmal auf die Bucht von Borsh.
Diese Festung ist ein Pflichtprogramm für alle Besucher. Es gibt in den alten Mauern viel zu entdecken wie zB verschieden Gewölbe und alte Bauten.

4. Baraban Bar
Overall Ratings
5 based on 7 reviews
This is the nicest beach bar in the area, not only Jali, but including Drymades and Dhermi. The staff is friendly and the service is very good. If you want to enjoy a nice morning coffee looking at the beautiful Ionians see, or you want to experience the nightlife with some nice cocktails, Baraban Bar is the right choice.

This place is great for morning, afternoon and evening, Great cocktails and music all day, and it is right in the seaside, so its easy to go and refresh yourself in the amazing Ionian Sea. The atmosphere is amazingly cheerful thanks to the music and the guests who complete ate frame of the bar. I'll definitely be back every summer!
5. Penisola Di Porto Palermo e Castello

Reviewed By LMOverby - Columbia, Missouri
The Porto Palermo is a striking part of the Albanian coast. Ali Pasha's castle is the best preserved (and the newest, I think) castle along "the Riviera." Cafe/restaurant across the road offers shaded parking and a shady veranda on which to have a cool drink after touring the castle. In the background, you can the remains of an old Soviet-era submarine base.

7. Ali Pasha Castle

Reviewed By Vg40 - Tampere, Finland
Some couple hundred meters of stone path up to the castle. Entrance to the castle in late SEP 2016 was completely free and unsupervised.
However the interior was nearly all dark (although it was a sunny daytime) and it was difficult to see your steps. Nice views from the vast upper level.
I hope the goverment would protect also this piece of history better as the visits have caused already some damage. The castle is nice and rather beautiful but nothing too special for a person who has visited earlier somewhat bigger and more impressive european Castles / fortresses. If you are close by I recommend to visit - otherwise, from longer distances, no need to bother.

9. The Castle of Himara
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 49 reviews
Reviewed By TravellingOrange - London, United Kingdom
Although this castle is largely in ruins we found it a romantic and picturesque spot to take some pictures and admire the beautiful coastline and Mountains.
The castle itself is remarkably well preserved in places despite being exposed to the elements. We found that the churches in particular still have visible frescoes.
Parking is plentiful and there is no entrance fee. The ground is uneven all the way through so wear sensible shoes.
10. Jale Beach

Reviewed By John B - Toronto, Canada
Beaches along the Albanian Riviera have a reputation of being extremely crowded (and it is well deserved) - narrow strips of sand with beach chairs and umbrellas stacked side by side almost touching each other. Jala is different. As it lacks some large resorts and is a few kilometers off the main road it just doesn’t attract a big crowd. The beach is quite wide and long and the beach chairs are nicely spaced (we were charged 400 lek - about 3 euros - for two loungers and an umbrella for the day). While the beach is generally not a sandy one the pebbles are quite small making it easy to walk about. The water is clear and warm and a pleasure to swim in. There are plenty of casual bars/beach restaurants to grab a drink/meal at. There is a high end resort (Soleil) and several bargain places to stay (including Nuanti). I’d highly recommend a stay here.
