Taxi in Sarandë — private transfers along the southern coast
Sarandë sits at the southern end of the Albanian Riviera, facing Corfu across a narrow channel. It is the port for the Corfu ferries, the base for visiting Butrint and Ksamil, and the far end of the coastal road from Dhërmi.
Dhërmi to Sarandë by private transfer
The drive south from Dhërmi follows the coast through Vuno, Himarë, Qeparo and Borsh, then turns inland around the Çuka headland before dropping back to the sea at Sarandë. It is the longest journey entirely within the Riviera, and the one travellers most often get wrong when planning by map alone.
Public transport on this corridor exists but is thin: services are seasonal, timings change, and the stops are on the main road rather than at your accommodation. For a journey with luggage, or with a ferry to catch at the other end, a private transfer is the version that can be relied on.
We drive it in both directions, including as a one-way transfer for travellers moving from the northern Riviera down to Sarandë partway through a trip.

Routes to and from Sarandë
If you have a ferry to catch
Tell us the sailing time and the operator when you book, not just the date. Ferry check-in and passport control at Sarandë port take time that a map-based estimate will not include.
We will recommend a departure time from your accommodation that leaves a sensible margin, and we would rather you left earlier than missed a crossing.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to drive from Dhërmi to Sarandë?
It depends on the season and traffic on the coastal road, which is why we do not publish a fixed figure. We will give you a recommended departure time when you book, based on when you need to arrive.
Can you drop us at the Corfu ferry terminal?
Yes. Send us your sailing time and operator so we can plan a departure that allows for check-in and passport control at the port.
Can you take us to Butrint or Ksamil as part of the journey?
Usually yes, either as a stop on the way or as a separate booked journey with waiting time. Mention it when you enquire so it is included in the plan and the price.
Do you collect passengers arriving from Corfu?
Yes. Give us your arrival sailing and we will arrange the pickup at the port the same way we handle airport arrivals.
Is a one-way transfer to Sarandë possible?
Yes. Many travellers move south partway through a trip, and a one-way transfer with luggage is a standard booking for us.
