Saranda

Situated just opposite the Greek island of Corfu on the mainland, Saranda has quickly developed into a touristic port town. It is near the famous archeological site and natural reserve of Butrint. From the village Ksamili it is possible to reach a number of small private beaches on little islands or sandy bays accessible only by boat.
Across an impressive but easy mountain pass the road leads on to the museum city of Gjirokaster and the main road to Greece. There are also frequent ferry connections to Corfu. Buthrotum (Albanian: Butrint or Butrinti) is an ancient city and an archeological site in Albania, close to the Greek border. Inhabited since prehistoric times, Butrint has been the site of an Epirot city, a Roman colony and a bishopric.
