During summer weekends, a lot of the population of Vlore drive the 5km down to spend the day at the gleaming white beach of Orikum. The beach is made up of good white pebbles and sea is clean and the seabed mirrors the light on a sunny day to give the water an azure hue. Orikum’s beach is a perfectly family beach. As a backdrop you can see the 2000-meter high Mount Athanasious sat behind the city.
