After leaving the historic cobblestones of Prizren, the bus heads south, eventually climbing the dramatic Llogara Pass before descending into the Riviera.

Navigating the winding mountain roads of Albania can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the terrain; professional drivers from our network of carriers handle the logistics while you enjoy the views. With ticket prices fixed at €30, it is also a far more cost-effective alternative to private taxis, which can cost upwards of €200 for the same distance.

Dhërmi is widely considered one of the jewels of the Albanian coast, famous for its crystal-clear water and vibrant nightlife. Upon arrival at the Dhërmi station, you are just a short walk or local taxi ride away from the pebble beaches. To make the most of your trip, ensure your mobile connectivity is sorted. Using an eSIM is the most efficient way to maintain access to maps and local guides without swapping physical SIM cards. Whether you are visiting the historic village uphill or the modern beach clubs by the shore, having a reliable data connection will help you navigate local restaurants and discover hidden coves like Gjipe, which is only accessible by boat or a hike from the main road.

Before you depart from the Stacioni Prizren, take a moment to enjoy the city's unique atmosphere. Prizren is known for its coffee culture and the Lumbardhi River that flows through its center. If you have time before your 06:30 or later bus, a quick visit to the Shadervan area is highly recommended. For the return journey or further exploration, keep in mind that bus travel remains the backbone of regional connectivity. The cross-border infrastructure between Kosovo and Albania has improved significantly, allowing for a seamless transition.
