About the Tirana Airport to Ksamil Transfer

Ksamil is Albania's most beautiful beach destination — crystal-clear turquoise water, three tiny islands just offshore, and a relaxed village atmosphere. Getting there from Tirana Airport is a long but scenic drive through the Albanian mountains, passing Gjirokastër before descending to the Ionian coast. Pre-booking your transfer means a driver waiting at arrivals and no stress about transport after a long flight.

Ksamil sits 14 km south of Sarandë, at the very southern tip of Albania, adjacent to the Butrint National Park. It's the most in-demand beach destination in the country — and one of the hardest to reach without your own transport. The private transfer covers the entire route airport-to-door, including the final stretch on the mountain road down to the coast.
