Albanian Riviera Grand Tour by Boat

The whole coast in a single day: leave Ksamil in the morning and cruise north past beaches reachable only by sea, Krorëz, Kakome, Mirror beach and, depending on time and sea, as far as Porto Palermo with Ali Pasha's castle or the spectacular bay of Gjipe.

It's the area's flagship experience: private boat with skipper for your group, swim stops where the water is clearest and an optional lunch on board (or a stop at a sea-accessible restaurant). From €350 per group for the standard boat, going up for large ribs and longer routes.

Good to know

• Leave early (9-9:30am) to use the flat morning sea and get far before the afternoon wind.
