About the Tirana Airport to Sarandë Transfer
The Tirana Airport to Sarandë transfer is the most popular route in Albania, connecting the capital's airport with the Albanian Riviera's crown jewel. The scenic drive takes you through the Gjirokastra region and past stunning mountain landscapes before descending into the coastal city of Sarandë, overlooking the Ionian Sea and Corfu.
Sarandë sits at the far southern tip of Albania, just 14 km across the water from Corfu. The drive from Tirana Airport follows the SH4 national road south through the mountains, passing the UNESCO city of Gjirokastër roughly halfway — worth a stop if your schedule allows. The final descent to the Ionian coast is one of the most dramatic in the country.
All transfers are door-to-door: your driver meets you in arrivals at Tirana Airport and drops you at your hotel, apartment, or ferry terminal in Sarandë. Pay cash on arrival — no upfront payment required.
