Day Trip
West coast day trip
A west coast day trip from Sarandë to Himarë takes travelers along one of the most
scenic coastal roads in
the Balkans. The journey follows the Albanian Riviera, where dramatic mountains meet the turquoise
waters of
the Ionian Sea, offering breathtaking views throughout the drive.
Albanian Riviera
Along the route, visitors pass through beautiful seaside villages, hidden beaches, olive groves, and rocky cliffs overlooking crystal-clear water. Stops can include quiet bays and famous Riviera beaches such as:
Himarë
In Himarë, travelers can explore the relaxed promenade, swim in the clear sea, enjoy fresh seafood restaurants, or visit the historic old town built on the hillside above the coast. The area combines Mediterranean scenery with authentic Albanian culture and a slower pace of life.
