Our cruises to Albania major in historic landmarks and biscuit-coloured beaches.
Where we sail in Albania
A stopover in Albania’s perfect if you love pairing centuries-old architecture with tension-releasing days by the beach. Our cruises to Albania dock in Sarande, a charming town anchored into a pretty horseshoe-shaped bay. It’s home to the rocky remains of a 5th-centruy synagogue, as well as a 16th-century semi-ruined castle that sits above the town on an olive-tree-sprinkled hilltop. Sarande’s beaches are relatively quiet, with shortbread-coloured sand that cosies up to water the blue-green shade of a precious stone. Make time to walk along the promenade that snakes alongside the beach – this walkway’s decorated with palm trees and ice-cream carts.
Albanian beauty spots
Albania’s got a typical Mediterranean climate. We call here in April, an ideal time to explore because it’s more pleasant to walk around – especially if you want to see some of the town’s tourist hotspots. Like Lekuresi Castle, which is a bit of hike to get to, but with huge rewards at the end. Once a citadel and today a semi-ruin, this landmark’s worth the steep climb for panoramic views of Corfu and the Greek border.

Saranda
Settled on the edge of the Albanian Riviera, Saranda’s sandwiched between the Ionian Sea and a hilly landscape carpeted in olive groves. The town sits in a horseshoe-shaped bay, edged with marshmallow-white beaches. History’s a big hook here – there are the ruins of a 5 th -century synagogue in the centre and a 16 th -century castle overlooking the town.
