South Coast, Saranda, Butrint & Gjirokastra 2 Days Tour

Start & end in Tirana 2 days Up to 6

About this trip

Two days along Albania's southern coast, taking in the mix of sea, hills, and history that makes this stretch of the Ionian so distinctive. You'll move between coastal towns and inland stone villages, with a guide shaping the pace around what you want to see.

Saranda gives you a lively coastal base, Butrint brings the region's deep history into focus, and Gjirokastra offers a completely different atmosphere with its stone houses and old town streets.

What you'll do

  • Drive the Ionian coastline with its rocky hills and clear water
  • Spend time in Saranda, including its evening atmosphere
  • Visit the ancient ruins at Butrint
  • Walk the old town of Gjirokastra with its grey stone houses
  • Take in hillside Ionian villages along the way
Good to know
  • Fully guided in a small group, with the itinerary adjustable to your interests — more history, communism-era context, or hiking, for instance
  • A short two-day format, so the pace covers a lot of ground rather than lingering long in one place
