Land at TIA, sleep in Ksamil the same night

Ksamil — sometimes called the "Albanian Maldives" — sits at the very southern tip of Albania, 15 km south of Saranda and across the strait from Corfu. It is also about 300 km from Tirana International Airport, and there is no train and no direct bus that lines up with most flight arrivals. A private transfer keeps the day simple: you exit customs, your driver meets you, and you're walking the beach within 5 hours.

The route runs south on the SH4 through Lushnjë and Fier, then joins the coastal SH8 at Vlora. The dramatic stretch is the Llogara Pass, where the road climbs through pine forest before opening to a panorama over the Karaburun peninsula. Allow 4 h 30 min to 5 hours total. Late afternoon arrivals at TIA usually mean a sunset over the Riviera on the way down.

Why book direct with ATHS

We are ATHS — Albanian Travel and Hospitality Services, founded in 1993. The same group runs aths-travel.com (the ATHS group homepage), plazh.com (beach accommodation across the Riviera), atavac.com (Albanian vacation packages) and krociere.com (cruise bookings). That matters for a long transfer like this one: you're not booking through a foreign aggregator that sub-contracts to whoever is cheapest. You're booking direct with the operator that owns the fleet and pays the drivers.

The quote you confirm is the price you pay — with luggage, child seats, water, flight tracking and a 60-minute free wait after landing included.

What to do once you arrive in Ksamil

Ksamil's four small islands sit a swimmable distance off the main beach. Most guests use their first afternoon to settle in and walk along Pasqyra or Bora Bora beaches; the next day is for the islands and Butrint UNESCO archaeological park, just 4 km away. We can also schedule a return transfer to TIA at the end of your stay — the same flat fare, same operator.
