You’ll step off your flight at Preveza Aktion Airport and spot your driver waiting with your name on a board—no taxi lines or guesswork. Settle into your private car or minivan (with cool air and space for everyone) as you head toward Saranda, Albania. Your local driver takes care of everything—even border crossings—so you can relax and watch Greece fade into Albania out the window.
The first thing I noticed after landing at Preveza Aktion Airport was the faint smell of jet fuel mixing with sea air — not what I expected, but somehow it made sense. Our driver was right there at arrivals, holding a sign with my last name (I always get nervous about that part, but it was actually easy). He smiled and waved us over like he’d been waiting all morning just for us. I fumbled with my bag straps and tried to say “hello” in Greek — he grinned and replied in English before loading our suitcases into the van. The whole thing felt oddly relaxed for an airport pickup.
I’d heard horror stories about taxi lines here, especially in summer, so booking this private transfer from Preveza Airport to Saranda was honestly a relief. The van had that clean-upholstery smell and cool air blasting (thank god), and we just sank into the seats while our driver navigated out of the parking lot. He pointed out the old olive groves as we left town — “that’s where my grandfather worked,” he said — and told us how long the drive would be depending on traffic. It’s not a short trip (a couple hours if you’re lucky), but having someone else handle the roads made it feel less like a chore and more like the start of something. My partner dozed off halfway through; I watched the landscape shift from Greek flatlands to those wild Albanian hills.
There was a moment when we crossed the border where everything went quiet — no music, no chatter, just paperwork and then suddenly different signs outside the window. I didn’t expect that little jolt of excitement, honestly. Our driver handled it all without fuss; he even joked about his own passport photo (“worse than yours?”). We rolled into Saranda just as golden light started bouncing off apartment balconies. He helped us with our bags again and wished us a good holiday before heading off. I still think about how simple he made something I’d been dreading for weeks.
