Day 1 Tirane – Sarande – Lekursi Castel – Albanian Riviera

Our tour leader will pick you up from your hotel in Tirana to head South. Our first destination will be Saranda, considered to be the pearl of the Albanian Riviera, especially during the summer period, when many refer to it as the unofficial capital of Albania. Located in a perfect natural bay of the Ionian Sea with an amazing view of Corfu Island. Saranda is blessed with more than 300 days of sunshine during a year, making it a favourite destination for both local and international tourists. Saranda is known for its rocky beaches, numerous bays, rich flora and fauna, citrus plantations and olive groves. The port of Saranda is one of the most important in the southern region of Albania, a connecting point with the Mediterranean countries. After exploring the city, have free time soak up the sun and relax by the rocky and pebble beaches.
In the afternoon, take a walk through the promenade of Saranda, enjoying the view, or stopping for a drink. As the day comes to a close, Saranda treats you to some of the most stunning sunsets you will ever witness. We will drive towards Lekursi Castle in Saranda, perched on a hill overlooking the city and the Ionian Sea, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the region. The sky bursts into shades of pink, orange, and purple, casting a magical glow over the sea. Overnight near Albanian Riviera.

You will feel like you are exploring some tropical paradise when being on its white sandy beaches with the view of the four islands in-front of the beach. Ksamil is primarily known for its fine sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, giving you that Bora – Bora feeling. We will have some time to dive in and enjoy the turquoise colors of the sea and soak up the atmosphere. Overnight near the Albanian Riviera.

After breakfast, get ready to explore the beautiful coastline of The Albanian Riviera. We will drive you towards Borsh, the longest and largest beach in the Ionian Sea (7 km-long), a quiet coastal village known for olive oil production.
On the way to our next destination, we will have a stop at Porto Palermo castle, where you're greeted by the sight of an ancient fortress overlooking the azure waters. The castle, also known as Ali Pasha Castle, is a historical gem with a rich past dating back to the Ottoman era. The architecture reflects a blend of Ottoman and local styles, with sturdy stone walls, arched doorways, and remnants of old cannons that once guarded the bay. After we visit the castle, we continue our journey along the coast, with the promise of more stunning views and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Overnight near the Albanian Riviera.

Discover the breath-taking beauty of Himara, a charming coastal town nestled along the Albanian Riviera. We will begin our day with a scenic drive through picturesque villages, offering glimpses of Albania's rustic countryside. Step back in time as you wander through the narrow cobblestone streets of Himara's Old Town and admire the traditional stone houses, each with its unique character and charm.
Himara is renowned for its pristine beaches, and no trip is complete without some time spent by the sea. Relax on the sand or take a dip in the refreshing waters. Later you can enjoy a walk by the seaside and try local cuisine with influence from neighbouring Greece.
While driving along the Albanian Riviera, we will pass some of the most beautiful beaches of Albania; Vuno, Dhermi and Palasa. Along the way we will drive through some small villages one by one, clinging to rock faces by the seaside, all tumbledown stone walls and narrow pathways. Our next destination will be Dhermi, one of the most famous beaches in Albania. You will have some free time by the seaside. Overnight near Albanian Riviera.
