Landing in Tirana for a beach stay in the far south? Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and takes you the whole way to Ksamil in one car — no transfer into the city, no bus to Sarandë and no taxi for the last stretch.
Your landing at Rinas and the long drive south to the Ionian coast.
Once you have your bags, come out into arrivals, where your driver waits with a name sign. The car does not go into Tirana: it rounds Durrës on its bypass and runs south on the SH4 through Rrogozhinë, Lushnjë and Fier, then on through Tepelenë and up the Drino valley. Near Gjirokastër the road turns west and crosses the hills via Delvinë to Sarandë, and Ksamil is about 14 km further south along the coast.
This is more than four hours of driving after a flight. Plan at least one break on the way, and tell us in advance if you would like a longer stop — it is added to your quote, not improvised on the day.
We follow your flight, so the 60 minutes of free waiting start from the actual landing, not the timetable. Your driver loads the bags and heads south past Durrës — no detour into Tirana.
Down to the coast at Sarandë and south to Ksamil. Drop-off at your hotel, apartment or address; Butrint, which UNESCO inscribed as a World Heritage site in 1992, lies just beyond the village.
The time shown is for the fastest road, inland on the SH4 past Gjirokastër and over to the coast via Delvinë. There is also the coastal Riviera route through Vlorë and over the Llogara Pass, past Himarë to Sarandë: the more spectacular drive, and a longer one. The Blue Eye spring sits on the older road via Muzinë and can be added as a detour. Tell us which you prefer in your request and the quote covers that route.
Priced on request, per vehicle rather than per passenger. Your written quote covers the drive, tolls and fuel, the pickup timed to your flight and 60 minutes of free waiting.
We monitor reported flight delays and adjust the pickup time accordingly. Sixty minutes of waiting after actual landing are included.

If you are staying in the capital first, the Tirana to Ksamil transfer picks you up at your hotel and follows the same roads south.
About 262 km by road, roughly 4h 25m of driving on the fastest road without stops. The coastal route over the Llogara Pass is longer.
No. The airport is at Rinas, north-west of the city, and the car goes straight south past Durrës. Tirana centre is not on the way.
No. Tirana Airport and Ksamil are both in Albania, so the whole drive is domestic.
Yes. It runs through Vlorë, over the pass and down past Himarë to Sarandë. It is the more scenic drive and takes longer, so ask for it in your request.
Yes. Gjirokastër lies on the inland road, and the Blue Eye spring is on the older road via Muzinë. Each stop makes the day longer; mention it in your request and allow time for the visit itself.
