Tirana Airport to Shëngjin Transfer

Direct private transfer from TIA to Shëngjin

Shëngjin is the main beach resort of northern Albania — a lively seafront town in the Lezhë district, popular with families and a strong draw for visitors from Kosovo. From Tirana International Airport (TIA / Nënë Tereza) it lies about 52 kilometres north, mostly on the A1/SH1 motorway corridor.

The drive takes roughly 55 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, with the last few kilometres descending from Lezhë to the coast. There's no convenient direct public transport from the airport, so a private door-to-door transfer is the simplest way to reach your seafront hotel. Night and early-morning departures are available at no extra charge.
