Dhërmi · Albanian Riviera
Dhermi Taxi is a local taxi and private transfer operator based in Dhërmi — written Dhermi on most maps and booking sites. We drive guests between hotels and beaches in the village, along the coast road to Himarë, Vlorë and Sarandë, and on longer journeys to and from Tirana International Airport. Call or WhatsApp +355 69 413 6433.

Dhërmi sits on a steep hillside above the Ionian Sea, with the old village on the slope, the beaches of Dhërmi and Drymades below, and the SH8 coastal road threading between them. Getting around without a car means steep access lanes, limited parking in summer and long gaps between villages — which is exactly where a taxi earns its place.
We work this stretch of coast every day. That means knowing which hotel entrances a vehicle can actually reach, where to wait when the beach road is busy, and how the Llogara Pass behaves in different weather. It is ordinary local knowledge, and it is the difference between a transfer that works and one that does not.
Whether you need a short ride from the village down to the beach, a transfer along the coast to Himarë or Qeparo, or a long drive to the airport at the end of your stay, you can arrange it in one message. We take bookings by phone and on WhatsApp — there is no form to fill in and no inbox to wait on.
Four kinds of journey make up most of our work.
Pickups from hotels, apartments and guesthouses in Dhërmi, Drymades and Palasë, including the steep runs between the village and the beach.
Private transfers between the Riviera and Tirana International Airport, arranged around your flight number and arrival time.
Direct drives along the coast and inland — Vlorë, Sarandë, Gjirokastër, Berat and onward connections — in one vehicle, without changes.
A vehicle and driver for the day, with stops where you want them, for beaches, viewpoints and villages along the Riviera.
Each destination has its own page with pickup details, local notes and a direct booking link.
Local pickups in the village, on the beach road and at Drymades and Palasë.

Our main car: a black E-Class saloon with a leather interior, licensed as a taxi and used for everything from a run down to the beach to the long transfer to Tirana airport.
For groups and families travelling with luggage, where a saloon would not have the space. Tell us your numbers when you book and we will confirm whether the van is the right vehicle and whether it is free.

No inflated claims — just the things that make a transfer on this coast go smoothly.
Dhërmi is where we live and work, not a destination we drive to occasionally. Pickups start nearby rather than two hours away.
Private transfers mean no changes, no waiting for other passengers and no walking the last stretch with luggage.
You get a price for your journey when you book. Nothing is left to be worked out at the end of the ride.
Multiple vehicles mean larger groups, extra suitcases and bulky items can be accommodated when arranged in advance.
Pickup point, destination, date, time, number of passengers and luggage. A flight number too, if you are arriving or departing.
You receive a reply with the vehicle, the price and the pickup arrangement. Nothing is charged at this stage.
On the day, your driver is at the agreed pickup point. For airport arrivals, that means waiting in the terminal with your name.
Dhërmi is one of the best-known villages on the Albanian Riviera, roughly midway along the coastal road between Vlorë and Sarandë. The historic village climbs the slopes of the Ceraunian Mountains, while the shoreline below holds Dhërmi Beach and the quieter bays of Drymades and Gjipe.
Immediately north is Palasë, sitting under the Llogara Pass. South along the road are Vuno, the small bay at Jal, Himarë with its castle hill and harbour, then Qeparo and Borsh with its long pebble shore and olive groves. All of them are a straightforward drive from Dhërmi, and all of them are difficult to reach without a car.
