About the Route

Kotor to Sarandë — what to expect

Kotor sits at the head of Boka Kotorska, a UNESCO-listed Adriatic bay; Sarandë is the main port on the southern Albanian coast, opposite Corfu. The route runs south through Budva, Bar, Ulcinj and crosses into Albania at Sukobin/Muriqan. From the border it continues through Shkodër, Tirana, Vlorë and finally the coastal SH8 to Sarandë — the same Llogara Pass section used in reverse for the Sarandë→Kotor direction.

Pickup anywhere in Kotor — Old Town gate, Dobrota, Muo, Prčanj, or Tivat Airport (TIV) 8 km north. Drop-off anywhere in Sarandë — the port promenade, Lekursi Castle road, or your hotel. Add Ksamil (12 km south) or Butrint National Park (16 km south) at no extra fee.

Optional combinations

  • Tirana lunch break — free, mid-route
  • End in Ksamil or Butrint — both within 16 km of Sarandë, no extra fee
  • Tivat Airport (TIV) pickup — on the route, included
💡 Insider tip: Aim for an 8am pickup. The Sukobin border is quietest before 10am and the Llogara stretch is most scenic in afternoon light when you arrive there.
