  • Travel from Tirana, Durrës, or Golem to Vlora with hotel pick-up, then board the three-deck boat for a full-day Ionian coast boat tour.

  • Cruise past the Karaburun Peninsula, where cliffs drop straight into clear water and you get to explore beaches accessible only by boat.

  • Take in panoramic views of Sazan Island, once a restricted military zone, now visible only from the water on most days due to controlled access.

  • Stop for extended swim time along the peninsula, with enough hours to actually relax, dry off, and swim again.

  • Did you know? Haxhi Ali Cave, which you'll be visiting in the afternoon, is named after a 17th-century Albanian sailor believed to have used it as a hideout. Its massive size allows boats to enter during calm seas, making it one of the largest sea caves along the Ionian coast.
