By Road
Albania shares borders with Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Greece. New roads are being constructed all the time, and therefore the ease of travel by car in Albania has improved dramatically just within the last few years and should continue to get better.
There are many different buses which travel directly to Saranda from other cities in Albania and locations in the neighboring countries.
Via SH8, the road that runs along the Albanian coast
Via the road leading north from Konispol (a town close to the Southern border with Greece)
Via SH4, the road leading west from Kakavia (Kakavia is a border town which lies on the South-Eastern Greek-Albanian border)
From Tirana to Saranda can be travelled with the bus lines, taxi vans or taxies.
The are two itineraries:
1) Tirana-Durres-Fieri-Vlora-Dhermi-Saranda or
2) Tirana-Durresi-Fieri-Mallakastra-Tepelena-Gjirokastra-Saranda.
If you travel through Dhermi (the first) you should pay more attention as the way is narrow.
Albanians from Kosovo and Macedonia follow this itinerary to reach Saranda:
Strufe-Qafe Thana-Librazhd-Elbasani-Rrogozhina-Fier and so on.
The tourists, who come here from Greece, reach the border of Kakavi in two ways: from Ioannina and Igumenitsa.
You can fly from Athens to Ioannina, and then the roadway from Janina to Kakavi takes around 40 minutes by bus or taxi. When you reach Kakavi, you follow this itinerary: Kakavi-Gjirokaster-Jergucat-Qafe e Muzines-Sarande. Through Qafe-Bota, the itinerary is Igoumenitsa-Qafe Bote-Sarande, but the roadway is narrower.
