There is an air conditioner in every room—three in total—with individual controls.
The nearest supermarket is right across the street, less than 100 metres from the apartment.
Saranda is an old fishing village, and the small harbour in the middle of the boardwalk remains the town’s hub, where both tourists and locals gather to chat and enjoy an espresso at one of the many cafés or restaurants.
The very pleasant restaurant Limani is also located here.
There’s a wide variety of restaurants in Saranda, and there are about ten within 100 metres of the apartment.
Swimming:
There are beaches everywhere, and it’s perfectly fine to swim right along the boardwalk in “city centre Saranda.” The closest swimming spot is Lost Seaside, just a 3-minute walk from the apartment. It has nice swimming ladders leading down into the sea and also offers access to a pool (for a fee).
If you’re planning a full day at the beach, you’ll want to take a taxi or bus to Ksamil, about 15 minutes south of Saranda. Here you’ll find gorgeous fine-grained sandy beaches and small, charming islands, as well as many nice restaurants.
The bus to Ksamil stops 10 metres from the house; it runs twice an hour and costs just a few kronor.
Another full-day excursion is to Luvovë, about 25 minutes north of Saranda. A lovely beach framed by beautiful cliffs and much fewer people. There are many small, simple restaurants and bars on the beach. It has a bit of a Caribbean vibe!
Parking:
Free parking spots are available along the road in front of the house, but there is no dedicated parking space belonging to the apartment. Please note that during peak season, parking spots are in high demand!
Culture:
The historic cities of Gjirokastra and the ruins of Butrint are both listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
It takes 20–25 minutes by car or bus to reach Butrint, and about an hour to Gjirokastra.
A slightly longer excursion takes you to the stunningly beautiful city of Berat, which is also home to many wineries.
