When comparing travel options, the bus stands out for its balance of cost-efficiency and environmental impact. While a private car offers flexibility, the 9-hour drive can be exhausting for a single driver. Taxis for this 450 km distance are prohibitively expensive for most solo travelers or small groups. In contrast, the bus allows you to relax, enjoy the high-speed 'Rruga e Kombit' highway, and lower your carbon footprint. Furthermore, with the security of a pre-booked seat through Gjirafa Travel, you avoid the uncertainties of parking and fuel costs associated with car rentals.

Upon arriving at Stacioni Qeparo, you are steps away from one of Albania's hidden gems. Qeparo is unique for being split into two parts: the historic old village perched on the hillside and the lower beach area. To stay connected while sharing your photos of the stone architecture or the Ionian sunset, consider activating an eSIM for Albania. This allows you to avoid high roaming charges and ensures you have access to maps and local guides instantly. Whether you are visiting the nearby Ali Pasha Castle or lounging by the sea, having digital connectivity enhances your exploration of this Mediterranean paradise.
