Where myths embrace the beauty of our shores!!!
Welcome to the "Bay of the Nymph Dafina" and the "Nun Seal Cave", I personally call it the second most beautiful beach in Albania after the Bay of Grama.
Legends and Myths speak of Dafina, one of the ancient Naiads, the daughter of Peneus, her beauty had enchanted the God Apollo, who followed her but had never managed to touch her, on this beach her father turned her into a Laurel tree so that Apollo would not take his daughter.
The collective consciousness of Albanians speaks clearly about Dafina beach, here on the same beach is also the Cave of the Mediterranean Monk Seal, one of the rarest species of Seals in the world together with the "Monk Seal of the Hawaiian Islands".
This seal lives and reproduces in the caves and shores of Karaburun in the open IONIAN Sea , sometimes it decides to enter the bay of Vlora, usually early in the morning, it can be found in some ports of Vlora fishing for Mullets.
