Saranda cruise port guide
Sarandë is a resort on the Albanian Riviera, in southern Albania. Sandwiched between the Ionian Sea and hills of olive groves, the town is on a horseshoe-shaped bay, edged by beaches and a promenade. In the center are the archaeological remains of a 5th-century synagogue, later an early Christian basilica. Intricate floor mosaics are still evident. The 16th-century Lëkurësi Castle is on a hilltop above the town.
About Saranda
Sarandë is a scenic port town on the Ionian Sea in southern Albania, situated on a horseshoe bay backed by mountains with over 300 sunny days a year. The city is famed for its deep blue Mediterranean waters, proximity to Butrint UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its location directly opposite the Greek island of Corfu. In recent years it has attracted growing numbers of cruise passengers drawn to its archaeological sites and the Albanian Riviera's natural beauty.
The principal excursion from Sarandë is to Butrint, an ancient Greek city whose ruins are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site about 18 km south of town. Ksamil beach, 15 km south, is celebrated for its small offshore islands, clear turquoise water, and excellent snorkeling and diving. The Old Castle of Lekures above the city offers outstanding views across the bay to Corfu. Within town, visitors can explore the 5th-century synagogue ruins, the Museum of Archaeology, and the Ethnographic Museum.
