What to expect

Albania is just a short boat ride from Corfu. This often-overlooked country was closed to outsiders for decades and it's only now really beginning to flex its tourist muscles. On this full day excursion, you'll visit the ruins of ancient Butrint, go for lunch and enjoy free time in Saranda.

The tour kicks off with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Butrint. Everyone from the Greeks to Romans to Ottomans left their mark on this ancient town. Walking through its ruins is like leafing through the pages of a living history book. Highlights include the amphitheatre and temple.

A woodland stroll up to the Venetian hill fort will give you great views over the national park and the surrounding wetlands. Afterwards, you'll head for a buffet lunch in the hamlet of Karanxh. Finally there's an hour of free time to explore Saranda before returning to Corfu.

    The guide was fabulous. The tour was well-organised. More information for the return trip - really from the port staff would have been helpful. We were left without knowing which boat we would be on and when it would arrive. Coaches were great in Corfu and in Albania. The buffet was good.

    From start to finish, the tour was excellent and value for money. Thank you to the driver who picked us up, the boat trip, the guides and bus driver in Albania. Our guide was extremely informative and made sure that our group was together at all times. The World Heritage site was a great place to visit and she told us its history every step of the way. Lunch was plentiful and tasty and the stop with free time in Sarande was excellent. What a beautiful place. It’s an excellent trip.

    Lunch was great. Guide was great. Roman ruins great. Transport back to Corfu by sea was very bad. Some kind of ancient landing craft. Only seats were on top with only rudimentary sun canopies for shelter. Boat went through a heavy rain storm, rough sea and torrential rain. Heavy rain blew under the canopies, no protection and no crew. People were panicking. Some tried going down to car deck but no seating there. Every passenger drenched to skin.
