The experience

The boat leaves Saranda heading south toward Kakome beach, the first stop. You'll swim here for a stretch, then return to the boat and continue to Krorëza Bay, where you spend the rest of the day. Krorëza has restaurants, bars and sunbeds on the beach itself, so you can eat and rest between swims without leaving the water's edge. The captain and crew are professional and speak English throughout the trip.

Food and fresh drinks are sold on board, or you can buy supplies before you leave Saranda and bring them with you. The boat carries WiFi, so you can stay connected if you need to. Children are welcome from age six. The trip works as a shared departure with other travelers, though private charters are available if you contact the operator to arrange a custom itinerary.
