Join us for an unforgettable full-day adventure along Albania’s stunning southern coastline, combining natural beauty, history, and relaxation. This guided tour from Durrës takes you to three of the region’s most iconic destinations: Sazan Island, Haxhi Ali Cave, and Karaburun Beach.
Your day begins early in the morning with hotel pickup in Durrës and Golem, followed by a comfortable drive to the coastal city of Vlora. Along the way, your professional guide will share fascinating insights into Albanian history and the landscapes you pass through. After a short coffee break, you’ll arrive at Vlora Port, where you’ll board a speedboat and head out into the Ionian Sea.
The first stop is Sazan Island, Albania’s largest island, once a restricted military zone. Enjoy free time to relax on the beach or explore the remains of the former military base while learning about its Cold War past. Next, cruise along the dramatic cliffs of the Karaburun Peninsula to reach the famous Haxhi Ali Cave. Enter the cave by boat and hear the legend of the 17th-century pirate who once hid here.
The final stop is Karaburun Beach, where you’ll have several hours of free time to swim in crystal-clear waters, sunbathe, or enjoy lunch at a seaside restaurant. In the late afternoon, return by boat to Vlora and then back to Durrës, with hotel drop-off in the evening.
Throughout the entire experience, you’ll be accompanied by a professional guide to ensure a safe, smooth, and memorable journey.
