5 Beaches in Saranda, Sarande, Albania

Have you seen the social media campaigns where Southern Albania is marketed as Europe鈥檚 answer to the Maldives?

Albania is very popular these days, and there are plenty of pictures of crystal-clear water, straw umbrellas, dramatic cliffs, cozy beach restaurants, and exotic drinks at sunset.

Since we haven鈥檛 been to the Maldives, we can鈥檛 vouch for that exact comparison. But with around 300 sunny days a year and water temperatures over 20 degrees from May to November (closer to 30 degrees from July to September), there鈥檚 no doubt that the main attraction in Saranda is the beaches.

And Saranda has beaches for every taste. There are spectacular beaches, hidden beaches, free beaches in the middle of the city, and beaches with sunbeds, beach bars, and DJs.

Several of the beaches are found along the route between Saranda and Butrint, where the local bus runs hourly from 6.30 am to 6.30 pm.
