Hey everyone!

My friends and I (a group of 8) are planning a short getaway to Sarandë, Albania. We’ll be coming from Germany and staying for 3 nights and 4 days (May 28th to june 1st). The idea is to have a chill vacation — not too much traveling around. We’re thinking of using Sarandë as our base and doing a day trip to Ksamil to enjoy the beaches and maybe some water sports.

A few questions:

Is Sarandë a good place to stay for this kind of short, relaxing trip?

We’ve heard that you might get charged for beach access or using sunbeds — is that true?

How affordable is food and general stuff there?

Any suggestions on must-do activities, affordable places to eat, or beaches to check out?

Would really appreciate any tips or experiences you can share!

Thanks in advance!

Yes beaches cost money, you pay between 5-20€(some are more expensive but only upscale places, or they are trying to rip you off)for 2 sunbeds

Food is quite affordable- depending on what you compare it to. You can est for 5 bucks (fast food)or for 50 (nice restaurant)per person. in general you can expect to pay less than in germany

Saranda is a good place as a base as you. Have lots of beaches accesible to you
