Walking

From Himarë, walk south along the bay towards Potami Beach. Continue past Oniro by Iliria Palace Hotel, following the paved path that curves around the headland.

Driving

From Himarë center, drive south on the SH8 road towards Dhërmi. After about 5 kilometers, look for a small sign for Filikuri Beach on your right. Turn onto the dirt road and follow it for about 1 kilometer to the parking area near the beach. Parking may cost around 300-500 Lek. From the parking area, walk down the steep path to the beach.
