The quiet Riviera

The Ionian bays that have not been priced or built into something else, on the busiest coastline in the country.

How this list is built

Riviera places whose peak crowd rating is 2 or lower on this site's five-point scale. The scale runs the same direction everywhere: 5 is the most crowded.

In this list · August verdict alongside

• Borshok · Peak everything, though seven kilometres absorbs it better than anywhere else here.
• Gjipeok · Busy by its own standards, which is still quiet by the coast's.
• Porto Palermook · Peak season on the coast, though this is not a sunbed beach.
• Palasëok · Peak, though still cheaper than the bay four kilometres south.
• Lukovëok · The peak, and it keeps an uncrowded feel through it.
