    The property is unique and very special. Beautiful orchard of olive trees that they produce excellent oil from. Didn't have a chance to try their wine but they make a good raki. Good breakfast too 😋.

    lovely garden and crafted housing. The host Thinios was super friendly and helpful to send us to the right beaches. You can cook there if you want - although we went to a restaurant he recommended and it was fantastic (Elea restaurant)

  • Is it necessary to have a car to get to town, go for dinner, go to the beach etc?

    It depends. The center of Himara is 3 km. If you want to see more places and beaches you need a car. Of course there are a lot of people that come here without car. It depends on you.

The Albanian Riviera.After the zigzagging Llogara Pass you will face the most beatiful place of the Albanian Riviera.HIMARA. Rolling hills covered in olive groves, Gold beaches,rustic accommodations and cold beers for the equivalent of a handful of change. Filoxenia Holiday Houses is Away from city noise but still close to the Sea.Holidays in Filoxenia is itself a separate experience.That you should live.Filoxenia is made with respect to the Nature .Here there is no luxury and extreme comfort. Nature gives you every day small and inaccurate surprises. In the morning the Sun is so sweet that makes you automatically smile. The shadows of the 200-year old olive trees ensure that a refresh. The evening sunset is simply breathtaking.These are the small miracles of nature.Here you come into contact with people from other countries, other cultures and create a beautiful and cosmopolitan neighborhood. We have Traditional and local products.We can cook breakfast or dinner for you using our home and hand made products.We can give you advices and informations for the most important things to do in Himara ( eating, swimming,sightseeing).Filoxenia is a way of Life and Love
My name is Thimios. I am 35 years old.and I am from beautiful Himara. After years of holidays in Greek islands and the experience that I had from my friends about the holidays in Himara I decided to create a place suitably for friends and people who love nature and no the city noise. Αlso important for me was that I wanted to build something beautiful in my Village.
Around us we have small paths under the old olive trees . Also you can visit a n old traditional houses. 5km way we have Porto Palermo Castle. 4km way is The Old Village of Himara. There is the first Castle of Himara. 2km is the famus beach Llaman. 20km is the Gjipe Beach .
