Tirana Airport to Lalzit Bay Transfer

Private door-to-door taxi, minivan or minibus from TIA to Lalzit Bay (Gjiri i Lalëzit) — about 30 km, one of the closest beaches to the airport. Instant price quote. Flight tracking included. Operated by ATHS, an Albanian travel operator with 30+ years of experience.

Direct private transfer from TIA to Lalzit Bay

Lalzit Bay (Gjiri i Lalëzit) is the white-sand bay north of Durrës that has become Albania's most upmarket beach destination — home to gated resorts such as San Pietro, Lalzit Bay Resort and Meliá, set behind a pine forest. It is also one of the closest beaches to Tirana International Airport (TIA / Nënë Tereza), barely 30 kilometres away.

The drive takes only about 35 to 45 minutes, mostly on good road with a short final stretch to the resort gates. Because the developments are gated and spread along the bay, a private transfer that knows the exact entrance saves a frustrating loop at the end of a long flight. Night and early-morning departures are available at no extra charge.
