Saranda sits at an enviable intersection where the crystal-clear Ionian waters and the hills covered in olive trees cross traces of antiquity and merge with modern architecture. This stunning city is rich with history, extraordinary culture, and centuries-old tradition. Located in the southernmost point of Albania and more than two millennia old, Saranda was ruled by the Roman Empire until the 4th century AD. Today, this magical place and its surroundings are filled with natural and archeological sites — evidence of this period can be found in the walls surrounding old town, part of which can be seen from the promenade. Saranda is a city with much to offer all year round, whatever the weather, so be prepared to LIVE and LOVE it.
