Choosing the bus over a private taxi or rental car offers significant benefits beyond the €10 price tag. While a taxi might offer a slightly faster transit, the cost is often five to six times higher. Furthermore, traveling by bus is a more environmentally conscious choice, reducing the carbon footprint per passenger along this pristine coastline. For solo travelers and backpackers, the bus is also a social experience, providing opportunities to meet fellow explorers. Unlike driving yourself, taking the bus allows you to keep your eyes on the horizon, capturing photos of the Ionian Sea and the rugged cliffs of the Himara region without the stress of navigating winding coastal roads.

Upon arriving at the Saranda Bus Station, you are at the doorstep of Albania's most famous southern city. Saranda is the perfect base for visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site of Butrint, a short 20-minute local bus ride away. To ensure you can navigate the city's promenade, book local tours, and share your photos of Ksamil Beach instantly, consider activating an eSIM before you arrive. Constant connectivity allows you to check return schedules to Dhërmi or Tirana in real-time. Don't miss the sunset from Lëkurësi Castle, which offers panoramic views of the city and the nearby island of Corfu, easily accessible from the central drop-off point.
