Saranda Embankment: A Vibrant Coastal Promenade

Getting There

The embankment is a short walk from the bus station, making it easy to find. Bus fare is usually around 100-200 Albanian Lek (approximately 1-2 euros).

  Taxis are readily available in Saranda and can take you directly to the embankment. A short taxi ride within the city center typically costs around $7 (approximately 700-800 Lek) for about 2 km. Be sure to negotiate the fare before starting your journey. Ride-hailing apps like Patoko are also available.

The embankment is located along the waterfront and is easily accessible. Parking is available nearby, but be aware that some places may charge a fee, typically around 2-3 euros per hour or €10-€15 per day.
