- Renting a speed boat and visiting the Gjipe Bay. Take a walk up the Gjipe Canyon, around 4 km, to the waterfall of Petasma that is 75 m high.
- Do not forget to spend some hours at Perivoli Beach; you'll have about 3 km of beach all for yourself.
Do not forget to buy olive oil (€4 per litre) and honey (€8 per litre) while you are in Dhërmi, it's the best you can find in Albania and one of the best in the Balkans.
The oil is very virgin and usually home-made. Also don't forget to get some figs - Albania is the world's 13th largest producer of figs. In some parts of Dhërmi, there are bananas. They aren't usually fully developed, but feel free to enjoy the only bananas grown in Europe! Lemons and oranges are also very popular, and pretty nice. Just feel free to stretch your hand, take an orange from the tree, peel the skin off and eat it.
In general eating in a restaurant in Dhërmi (there are various kinds of places serving the likes of pizza, fish, traditional Albanian, Italian or Greek cuisine) will cost you around €10 per meal. There are some really good fast foods where you will spend less than €4 per person including the drink.
Since the tourist seasons ends abruptly in August, visitors should expect very few restaurant options available in the Drymades Beach area beginning September 1st each year. The few restaurants that are available will typically have a limited menu based on what food they still have in the kitchen.
Piratet is a very nice option if you want to enjoy fresh seafood near the beach.
You have two places to go out at night, Havana Beach Bar one of the first beach bars since 2001 at Dhërmi Beach and Palase, and Cafe del Mare Pub, the best choices on the Ionian Coast, well known amongst Albanians. In fact, Havana Beach Bar is so popular that in summer, most of the Albanian young members of the government, singers, models, and Big Brother stars go there.
From Panorama you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dhërmi during the day and the night.
Dhërmi is full of nice modern cafes and bars, a coffee costs around €0.50 cents, and a cola around €1, a beer around €1-2, and a drink €2-4. But be careful when family shopping because buying in the centre of Dhërmi is far more expensive than buying in the village, where old women sell what they grow on their balconies - usually called "veranda" in Albanian.
