Monastery Beach

Monastery Beach, just south of Sarandë, is a small cove known for its clear Ionian water, pebbled shore, and quieter atmosphere compared with the town’s busier beaches. Backed by low hills and named after the nearby Monastery of Saint George, it appeals to visitors looking for a more relaxed seaside stop with good swimming and simple coastal scenery. Access is easiest by car or taxi, and facilities are limited, so it suits travelers who prefer a less developed beach experience over lively crowds or extensive services.
