Saranda

A sunny Ionian Sea town on Albania's southern Riviera, facing the island of Corfu and surrounded by ancient history.

Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Saranda is the lively heart of the Albanian Riviera, stretched along a horseshoe bay of clear turquoise water opposite the Greek island of Corfu. Its palm-lined seafront promenade fills with music and evening strolls through the warm months. Within easy reach lie the UNESCO-listed ancient city of Butrint, the natural spring of the Blue Eye and the hilltop Lëkurësi Castle with sweeping views over the bay. Warm hospitality, fresh seafood and a relaxed Mediterranean rhythm make Saranda a welcoming stage for international groups.
