Canyon of Gjipe, Natural canyon in Vlorë County, Albania
The Canyon of Gjipe extends for 800 meters between Dhërmi and Vuno, featuring limestone walls that reach heights of up to 70 meters along the Ionian Sea.
Archaeological evidence indicates human settlements near the Canyon of Gjipe dating back to ancient times, with discoveries of traditional artifacts in nearby caves.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of olive and carob tree cultivation in the areas surrounding the canyon, continuing agricultural methods from past generations.
Visitors can reach the canyon through a marked hiking trail from the main road, which takes approximately 30 minutes to walk to the beach entrance.
The canyon waters serve as a habitat for three dolphin species: cuvier's beaked whale, common bottlenose dolphin, and short-beaked common dolphin.
