Paid parking, difficult descent
Lukovë
Been here?
A coastal parking area beneath olive trees near a sandy beach, with attractive scenery and sunsets. Recent reports describe increasing commercialisation, paid parking and difficult access for heavy motorhomes, especially on the descent. Prices have changed over time, with recent reports giving 15€ per night and 25€ for 24 hours. Rubbish has also been reported, while bars and tavernas may be open or closed depending on the season.

Nothing but commercial activity around here, everything costs money. The descent is difficult for heavy motorhomes and the brakes are burning. Beautiful views and friendly people.
We stayed farther back on the beach. €15 per night. Rubbish everywhere like a landfill. In the evening, the owner came and dumped more rubbish. Beautiful scenery. Some of the bars at the beginning of the beach are still closed, but they are very nice. There is also a beautiful beach there.
I don't know where you are supposed to park here. Parking is marked, but everything is fenced off and closed, at least in early May. We asked the bar owners and were allowed to park and spend the night by their bar. Very friendly people!
Still free farther back; you have to drive almost to the end of the car park.
no longer free, you can stay 24 hours for 25 euros and hire sunbeds for 2 people for 20 euros. we arrived around 4.30pm and negotiated sun beds and parking until 10am the next day for 25 euros. everyone very polite and reasonable
Parked here for one peaceful night in March ‘25. No one else around apart from some farmers and their goats/horses.
The old man with a stick pointed out that we should park right at the back because everything at the front was under video surveillance. We did not do that and nothing happened. It is a relatively nice spot among the palm trees if you ignore the no-parking rule. The water is wonderful and the sunset is first-class. There are semi-wild pigs too ;-)
Parking under the olives is very complicated, you have to go next to the tobacco shop. Going to the beach is bad. Free Lukove is over :-((
The access road is not very wide for a motorhome, and it is best if there is not too much traffic. The beachfront is spoiled by all the bars and sunshades occupying the entire seafront, so it is difficult to park and have a sea view. Otherwise, the mainly sandy beach is very beautiful and the water is crystal clear.
Very good spot for a night!
An absolute disaster; this place should be removed from here. Most parking spaces are covered by a sunshade net that nothing larger than a car can fit through. Then I moved four times until the gentlemen were satisfied, and then they wanted €15 for nothing. By now there are surely 10 bars and masses of people. The drive down and back up was not worth it and only cost me nerves.
In July, parking is paid: €5 per day. But the surroundings are awful. The restaurant is almost finished.
The new beach bar was almost finished when we spent one night there. The owner was very friendly and allowed us to stay. Dream beach with a beautiful view.
It will be nice once complete, but there is no possibility of parking now.
The beach and sea are very beautiful. The seafront is under construction, so we did not stay.
Actually a beautiful spot right by the water. We stayed a little higher up on a kind of storage area/plateau. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the foundation of the new beach bar was being poured, and work continued on Sundays and into the night. It was also very busy with traffic. The bar owners were very kind and helpful; the beach was an empty dream. We stayed for free.
Overnight fee: €10 for our VW bus, also at the first site. Fee for two beach loungers and one umbrella: €10. Parking during the day is free. You have to stay at the very front, at the first parking area. There are also annoying flies. Note to the admin: please change the price to €10 and change the symbol for the two sites here in Plazhi i Lukove in the overview.
Disastrous, a rip-off, with rubbish and horse manure everywhere. At the beginning of September, although it was quiet, we were asked several times to move without any apparent reason. After the third request, we decided to pack up and drive somewhere else. The three sites belong together and stay in contact so that they do not lose any money. Very pushy, almost mafia-like. Never again!!!
A pleasant place to spend the night with several options. We slept among the trees above the beach; it is also possible to park by the sea in parking areas belonging to the restaurants for a small fee, or for free after 6 p.m. A water hose is available on the beach. We had dinner at the pleasant Hi Lukove restaurant.
