Transport
Transport in Albania - how to get around the country: the airport, ferries, furgon minibuses, intercity buses, and transfers. This section has practical guides: how to get from point to point, roughly how long the trip takes, and what options there are.
Here you’ll find Tirana International Airport (the main gateway), the ferry ports of Durrës (from Italy) and Sarandë (from Corfu), city transport, and popular routes like Tirana → Durrës → Sarandë (bus, car) - and we keep adding directions and modes of transport. It’s handy to plan transport together with the “Car rental” and “Routes” sections.
