Day Trip to Saranda and Butrint National Park from Corfu

Set off from Corfu for a memorable day trip to Albania, discovering the vibrant port city of Saranda and the remarkable Butrint National Park. This guided adventure invites you to explore ancient ruins, stunning coastlines, and rich cultural heritage just a short boat ride away from Greece.

Upon arrival in Saranda, you’ll join a scenic bus tour along the picturesque southern Albanian coast. Gaze at untouched beaches, charming villages, and fertile plains as your guide shares stories about the region’s fascinating past. If you select the Butrint option, your journey continues to the UNESCO-listed archaeological site of Butrint.

Wander through the ancient city of Buthrotum, where Greek, Roman, and Venetian history comes alive among the ruins. Marvel at the theater, Temple of Asclepius, Venetian tower, and the intricate mosaic floor of the Roman Baptistery. Enjoy sweeping views of the lake and plains from the hilltop, making this a highlight for history lovers.

After returning to Saranda, savor a delicious buffet lunch at a local restaurant before embarking on a guided walking tour of the town. If you prefer, choose the option without the Butrint visit and spend your free time exploring Saranda’s lively promenade, relaxing at a café, or swimming in the crystal-clear sea.

This full-day tour lasts around nine hours and includes boat transfers, guided excursions, and lunch if you select the Butrint option. Tours are available in several languages, and group sizes are flexible. Secure your spot now and experience the wonders of Albania from Corfu—availability is limited!
