Qeparo to Tirana bus

Traveling from the coastal village of Qeparo to the bustling capital of Tirana is a journey that connects the serene Ionian coast with the heart of Albania. The bus route covers a distance of approximately 228 kilometers and typically takes about 4 hours and 5 minutes. For travelers seeking a reliable and cost-effective way to transition from the beach to the city, the regional transport network, including authorized carriers like Olgeno Travel & Tours, provides a consistent service.

Planning your departure is straightforward with two scheduled daily services. Buses depart from Stacioni Qeparo at 06:30 and 14:30. Whether you prefer an early morning start to maximize your day in Tirana or a mid-afternoon departure after a final swim in the Ionian Sea, these options cater to different schedules. The journey duration of roughly 4 hours is an ideal time to relax and enjoy the changing landscapes of the Albanian countryside. All arrivals in the capital are directed to Terminali Lindor (East Bus Terminal), which is well-connected to the city center via local public transport and taxis.

Choosing the bus for your trip to Tirana is not only budget-friendly but also a sustainable choice. With a fixed ticket price of 16.0 EUR, it is significantly more affordable than hiring a private taxi or renting a car, which involves additional costs like fuel and city parking.

You can spend the journey catching up on work, reading, or staying connected with an eSIM to share your travel photos instantly. For many, the peace of mind that comes with a professional driver and a pre-booked seat is the ultimate travel luxury.
