September is the pick: the sea is at its warmest and the crowds go home after the first week.\r\nIs it expensive? | Cheaper than Sarand\u00eb outside August.

A scooter is better if you are confident \u2014 the road is spectacular and largely unbarriered.\r\nWhat is the Llogara pass? | A thousand-metre mountain pass through pine forest behind the town, on the road north to Vlor\u00eb, with paragliding in summer and one of the best views in the Balkans on the way down.\r\nIs there anything to do besides the beach? | The old village and its castle above the town, boat trips to caves along the coast, Porto Palermo's castle twenty minutes south, and the pass behind.
