About Borsh
Borsh stretches along Albania’s Ionian coast, where a long beach, olive groves, and mountain slopes shape a relaxed village on the Albanian Riviera.
Olive groves and low-key beachfront tavernas give the coast a rural, unhurried feel, while clear water keeps the focus on swimming and shore time. Above the village, Borsh Castle offers broad views over the coast, and local olive-oil tastings connect the landscape with its food traditions.
Fresh seafood, byrek, flija, and tavë kosi appear on local menus. Borsh Beachfront is the natural place to stay, with the beach and dining close at hand.
