From the town of a thousand windows to the beaches opposite Corfu in about 3h 40m. South through the Vjosa country past Tepelenë and Gjirokastër, down to Sarandë and round the bay to Ksamil — a private car from your door in Berat to your hotel by the sea.
Drive from Berat to Ksamil in about 3h 40m, plus any breaks. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us your pickup in Berat and your hotel in Ksamil.
Pickup from your guesthouse in Mangalem or Gorica or any address in Berat; the old quarters have narrow lanes, so the driver meets you at the nearest point a car can reach. The road heads west and then south into the Vjosa valley.
Past Tepelenë and the Gjirokastër bypass the road crosses the hills to Sarandë and follows the bay south to Ksamil: the small beaches, the islets and Corfu across the water. Drop-off at your door.

Berat and Gjirokastër share a UNESCO listing. If you would rather sleep in Gjirokastër and continue the next day, the first leg has its own page: Berat to Gjirokastra.
Travelling the other way? Ksamil to Berat is the same road in reverse.
Request Ksamil → Berat →Berat to Ksamil is about 191 km by road and roughly 3h 40m of driving, all inside Albania. The direct road runs inland: west out of Berat towards the Fier plain, then south along the Vjosa past Memaliaj and Tepelenë to the Gjirokastër bypass, over the pass by Muzinë where the Blue Eye spring lies just off the road, and down to Sarandë and the bay of Ksamil, with Corfu in view across the strait.
The inland road is the direct one. The coast road through Vlorë and over the Llogara Pass is longer and slower but runs the whole Riviera; if that is the drive you want, say so in your request and we quote it as a day with stops.
We pick up from guesthouses, hotels and addresses in Berat, with 15 minutes of free waiting at address pickups; the old quarters are narrow, so the driver meets you at the nearest point a car can reach. In Ksamil we drop off at your hotel or address.
Everything specific to this route.

Butrint is a few kilometres beyond Ksamil. Ask for a stop there before the hotel, or for a separate day from Ksamil, in your request.
No direct line that we know of; by bus the trip needs a change in Fier or Gjirokastër. Check current timetables locally. A private transfer goes from your door in Berat to your hotel in Ksamil.
