Travel Tips
Choose Your Transport Wisely**: While flights are the quickest option, consider taking a bus or driving for a more scenic route. Ferries are also available from Saranda to Corfu, offering beautiful coastal views.
Book in Advance**: If you opt for a flight, book your tickets early to secure the best prices. For bus or ferry services, check schedules in advance, as they may operate less frequently during off-peak seasons.
Timing Matters**: Allow ample time for border crossing if traveling by land. The border between Albania and Greece can have varied wait times, especially during busy periods. Aim to travel early in the day to avoid long queues.
Luggage Considerations**: When flying, check the airline's baggage policy to avoid extra fees. If you're taking a bus or ferry, pack light; ensure your luggage is manageable since space may be limited.
Prepare for Border Crossings**: Have your passport ready and check visa requirements for Greece ahead of time. It’s advisable to carry some cash in euros for small expenses at the border or in rural areas once in Greece.
