Saranda is a coastal town on the Albanian Riviera along the Ionian Sea. It’s the largest city in southern Albania, and only a 30-minute ferry ride away from the popular Greek island of Corfu. In recent years, Saranda has become a popular tourist destination thanks to its easy access, affordability, and strategic location to discover other beaches and historic sites from. The city itself is very lively, with lots of entertainment options throughout the day and night.
