SeasonMay–October
This is the most scenic tour you can take from Vlorë: climb the Llogara Pass — Albania's most beautiful mountain road, with views over the entire coast to Corfu — then descend along the Riviera through its most famous villages and beaches.
Dhermi with its white houses and turquoise pebbles, Himara and its castle, the endless beach of Borsh, and finally Ksamil: white sand and little islands that earned the area the nickname 'Albanian Maldives'. Return in the evening with sunset light on the Llogara climb.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really doable in one day?
Yes, but it is a full day: 12 hours with many stops. The van is comfortable and the route is broken up every 40-60 minutes.
Do we swim?
Yes, free time for the sea and beach is planned in Ksamil (about 2 hours). Bring a swimsuit and towel.
Can I finish the tour in Saranda instead of returning to Vlorë?
Yes, on request: if your journey continues south we can drop you in Saranda or Ksamil with your luggage. Mention it when booking.
Is the Llogara Pass safe?
Yes: paved, wide road and our drivers travel it every day. In fog we use the tunnel.
