💡 Tips

Renting a car is essential for this area as public transport to Cape Rodon is very limited.
Always carry enough cash in Albanian Lek, as cards are rarely accepted in local beach bars.
Visit Cape Rodon early in the morning to avoid the midday heat and enjoy the peace at St. Anthony Church.
Be mindful of road conditions; the paths leading to the coast can be bumpy and uneven in places.
Explore nearby agrotourism spots to experience authentic Albanian farm-to-table cuisine.
