Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Saranda
For most travelers, Corfu International Airport (CFU) is the most practical gateway to Saranda. Although it sits in the neighboring city of Corfu, Greece, the short ferry crossing makes it significantly faster and often cheaper than any Albanian domestic route. Tirana International Airport (TIA) serves the capital of Albania; while it handles more international traffic, it requires a long 5-6 hour road journey to reach the south. Ioannina "King Pyrros" Airport (IOA) is another Greek alternative in a neighboring city, useful for those already exploring the Epirus region. Preveza International Airport (PVK) and Kefalonia International Airport (EFL) serve other Greek regions and are significantly farther, generally only recommended if you have specific travel plans in those areas. When traveling from Greek airports to Albania, always remember to carry your passport as you will be exiting the Schengen Area, and factor in the one-hour time difference between Greece and Albania. Booking private transfers in advance is recommended for cross-border routes to ensure a smooth transition at customs.

Nice hotel, good choice for breakfast buffet. Staff were friendly, special mention for the lovely dark haired pool bar staff girl for being friendlier. Great sea view from the room although sadly a little noise coming from above due to the renovation work being done on the terrace pool but it wasn’t really an issue for me, I was more disappointed that it was closed for renovation.FromUS$92

An in demand hotel and rightly so! Super location just south of the beach with incredible views of the promenade and sea. 6th floor is the way to go! Breakfast was a little underwhelming, but don’t let that put you off booking (as long as you can secure the right room!).FromUS$73

Great service with great host and great facilities(pool especially and clean room) Even though we arrived late, which was 3 AM, hosts helped us check in easily. Moreover, we woke up late and the breakfast time was over but the host asked us whether we want breakfast. Everyone was super nice and generous.
The outdoor pool was great to swim. Also 15 minutes away from the bus terminal which made us come here easilyFromUS$155

We spent 3 nights here in May, and honestly we will be back! Lovely hotel, and fabulous beach! Our room was lovely and clean and had everything we needed (including water in the fridge and tea/coffee). It was also cleaned every day to a high standard. The breakfast (free!) was fab, lots of choice and nice and fresh! The beach and sun bed were amazing, beautiful and right in front of the hotel!!! We ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was really good! Grilled shrimp and Mediterranean salad were a highlight for me :-) but what really makes this place is the staff - friendly, kind, helpful and really focussed on good service! Shout out to thw young chap who is also a painter and decorator (when he’s not a waiter) - so helpful and friendly the staff on reception (very helpful) and the wonderful staff in the beach bar who made it so we could watch the football :-) location is also fab - outside of town, but only 30 mins walk and so nice and peaceful! Wpuld highly recommend!FromUS$210

A very good and fresh hotel with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a convenient location — just 5-10 minutes walk to the beaches. Cafes and shops are nearby, but there are no noisy streets around. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room cleaning is excellent, and the towels are good quality. There is also a small hygiene set in the bathroom (gel, shampoo, and soap), everything is clean and tidy.
If you are lucky with the neighbors and they follow the basic rules of community living, the stay can be just perfect. Another big plus — the hotel has its own parking.FromUS$94
