Albania – Butrint

Embark on an unforgettable daily cruise-excursion to the enigmatic land of eagles, a land yet to be discovered and explored

Description

The journey commences at the New Port of Corfu, at the passenger station, where passport control is mandatory. As the vessel glides along the Albanian coastline, leaving behind the alluring island of Corfu, it gracefully docks at the port of Saranda in no time.

Upon arrival, the intrepid and dynamic among you will have the opportunity to partake in a mesmerizing optional excursion, organized by our company. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local tour guide, you will be transported to the ancient archeological site of Butrin, where you will learn about the city’s rich history while admiring its ancient monuments from a panoramic view atop a majestic hill fortress. Upon the conclusion of the guided tour, an oasis of plane trees welcomes you to the beautiful region of Karahaxh, where you will indulge in a mouthwatering selection of traditional dishes, served buffet style in a charming restaurant. After this delightful culinary experience, we return to the town of Saranda, allowing ample time for a leisurely stroll and exploration of the town’s hidden treasures before the ship’s departure back to Corfu.

Our experienced multilingual guides (English, German, French) accompany you on a bus to the archeological center of Saranda, Butrin, a journey that lasts approximately 35 minutes. The guided tour of the archeological area lasts for about an hour and a half, covering a distance of approximately 2 miles (on foot). After the tour, we travel for 20 minutes to the charming village of Karahaxh for a delectable lunch buffet, where we stay for approximately one hour. After lunch, we return to Saranda, where you will have an hour of free time to explore the town at your leisure, with or without the guide.
