Night out in Albania: Saranda & Ksamil after dark
Summer nights on the Albanian Riviera happen on one short stretch of the Ionian coast: Sarandë's seafront, the bay south of town and the beach clubs of Ksamil. Here are the venues, how their door worked in 2026 and what is already known about the next summer.

Practical
Entering Albania with an ID card: the rules for EU travellers
Albania is outside both the EU and the Schengen area, yet citizens of EU countries can cross its border with nothing more than their national identity card. What decides whether the officer waves you through is how long the card is still valid, which kind of card it is and, for children, a few extra papers.
Areas & towns
Over the Llogara Pass to Dhërmi: fir forest above, pebble beach below
The Llogara Pass is where the coast road from Vlorë climbs through Llogara National Park before dropping to the Ionian at Dhërmi. Since the tunnel opened, going over the top is a choice rather than a must: here is what the pass gives you, what Dhërmi is like, and how far it all is from Sarandë's nights.
By day
Gjirokastër from Sarandë: a day in Albania's town of stone
Gjirokastër is the inland half of southern Albania: a UNESCO-listed town of grey stone roofs and tower houses climbing to a castle above the Drinos valley. From Sarandë it fills a full day, and you can still be back on the coast for the night in Sarandë or Ksamil.
