Private door-to-door taxi, minivan or minibus from TIA to Velipojë — about 95 km north via Shkodër. Instant price quote. Flight tracking included. Operated by ATHS, an Albanian travel operator with 30+ years of experience.
Velipojë is a wide, family-friendly beach at the mouth of the Buna river, in the Shkodër district near the Montenegrin border. It's a favourite summer escape for northern Albania, known for its long sandy shore, shallow water and the lagoon and wetlands behind it. From Tirana International Airport (TIA / Nënë Tereza) it is about 95 kilometres north, via the A1 motorway and Shkodër.
The drive takes roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes: fast motorway as far as Shkodër, then a flatter road out to the coast. With no practical direct public transport from the airport, a private door-to-door transfer is by far the easiest way to arrive — and it pairs naturally with a stop in Shkodër. Night and early-morning departures are available at no extra charge.
