Filikuri Beach

Location and physical setting of Filikuri Beachتعمق بحثي

The article supplied concerns the municipality of Himarë in Vlorë County, southern Albania, and does not contain any specific information about a place called Filikuri Beach. No location, measurements, access routes, geology, or physical description of Filikuri Beach appear anywhere in the text.

Because the Albania Atlas compiles only facts present in supplied source material, no encyclopedic entry for Filikuri Beach can be constructed from this article. The article text does describe the broader coastal setting of the Himarë region — a strip approximately 20 kilometres long by 5 kilometres wide, lying between the Ceraunian Mountains and the Ionian Sea, with long pebbled beaches — but it does not identify or describe Filikuri Beach by name.

What the source article covers insteadتعمق بحثي

The article provided is the Wikipedia entry for the municipality and region of Himarë, covering its geography, demographic composition, history from antiquity to the present, language, religion, politics, and minority issues. It mentions several named coastal localities including Dhërmi (with its coastal area Jaliskari), Palasë, Vuno, Ilias, and Qeparo, but Filikuri Beach is not among them.

Editors seeking to write an Albania Atlas entry for Filikuri Beach should supply a source article that specifically covers that beach. Until such a source is provided, any entry would require information drawn from outside the supplied text, which is not permitted under the Atlas's editorial policy.

Coastal context within the Himarë regionتعمق بحثي

While Filikuri Beach itself is not described, the surrounding coastal region of Himarë, within which beaches of the Albanian Riviera sit, is characterised in the source article as a narrow strip of coastline backed by the 2,000-metre Ceraunian Mountains. The few hills close to the sea are, according to the article, terraced and planted with olive and citrus trees.

The coastal settlements of the former Himarë municipality recorded a combined resident population of approximately 2,822 in the 2011 census, with the 2015 Albanian Civil Registry placing the broader municipality's population at 27,049, including Albanian citizens living abroad. The majority of the population has left the region to live in Greece or in large Albanian cities.

Administrative framing of the Himarë coastlineتعمق بحثي

The municipality of Himarë, created in its current form by a 2015 administrative merger, covers a total area of 571.94 square kilometres and comprises three administrative units: Himarë, Horë-Vranisht, and Lukovë. Beaches along this coast therefore fall within the jurisdiction of one of these three units, though the article does not specify which unit would govern Filikuri Beach.

The seat of the municipality is the town of Himarë. Within the town, the coastal area of Spilea functions as the touristic and economic centre of the region, according to the article. The village of Dhërmi, to the north of the town, contains a number of recently built beach resorts, and its coastal area is named Jaliskari in the source.

Tourism infrastructure along the Himarë coastتعمق بحثي

The article notes that the Himarë area has significant potential for tourism. Key features cited are the town's seaside promenade, tavernas, and an old town built on a hill. The town is divided into the old quarter of Kastro and the coastal area of Spilea, with additional neighbourhoods named as Potami, Livadhi, Zhamari, Michaili, and Stefaneli.

The article also records that during the First World War the Italian occupying forces used Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war to build a road through Himarë, which the article states greatly reduced the region's historical isolation. No information is given about road or beach access specific to Filikuri Beach.

Editorial note on source limitationsتعمق بحثي

No facts specific to Filikuri Beach — including its length, substrate, water depth, facilities, ownership, protected status, seasonal access, or historical record — are present in the article text supplied. The six sections and quick facts required by the Atlas format cannot be accurately completed for this subject from this source.

The Atlas's editorial policy prohibits the addition of facts from memory or from sources other than the supplied article text. This entry should be updated when a source article specifically covering Filikuri Beach is made available.
