You’ll skip taxi lines in Ksamil and get picked up right at your hotel for a private transfer to Parga, with space for your whole group. Your local driver handles border details and shares small tips along the way. Settle into a clean vehicle and watch Albania fade into Greece — it’s all easygoing until you reach your new spot.
We’d just finished our last breakfast in Ksamil — that salty feta on warm bread, still can’t get over it — when our driver showed up right at the hotel door. He had this relaxed way about him, just a quick nod and “Mirëmëngjes!” (I tried to say it back, not sure I nailed the pronunciation). There was no rush or stress, which honestly felt like a small gift after a week of bouncing around buses and ferries. The van was spotless and cool inside; you could still smell a bit of yesterday’s sea air clinging to my bag.
I’d worried about the border crossing from Albania into Greece — you hear stories about lines or confusion — but our driver handled everything. He chatted with the guards in Greek, waved us through, and then told us where to find good coffee once we hit Parga. It’s funny how those little tips stick with you more than any brochure stuff. The road wound along olive groves and dusty hills; sometimes the sun would flicker through the window and I’d lose track of time just watching the landscape change.
There wasn’t much noise except for some quiet Albanian pop on the radio (catchy, actually), and every so often he’d point out something — an old church up on a hill, or where his cousin fishes in the summer. I liked that he didn’t talk too much unless we asked. It felt like we were guests rather than customers being shuffled around. When we pulled into Parga, I almost wished the drive was longer. Leaving is always weird — you’re half in one place, half already thinking about what’s next.
