Drive from Ksamil to Tirana. Private transfer from €210 per vehicle, all-inclusive — fuel, tolls, English-speaking driver, door-to-door.
Pickup anywhere in Ksamil. North along the Albanian Riviera coast road toward Sarandë.
The Riviera's main resort town, curved around a bay facing Corfu — a good spot for a coffee before the climb north.
Up the coast past Himarë and over the Llogara Pass — the road switchbacks high above the Ionian Sea with the whole Riviera below. The best photo stop of the drive.
Where the coastal Riviera road meets the fast SH4 motorway north — the drive speeds up from here toward the capital.
Up the motorway through Fier to Tirana — Skanderbeg Square, the city centre, or Tirana Airport (TIA). Door-to-door.

Traveling the other way? Tirana to Ksamil is the same route in reverse.
Book Tirana → Ksamil →Ksamil sits on the southernmost stretch of the Albanian Riviera, opposite the Greek island of Corfu, with Butrint National Park 4 km south. From Ksamil the route runs north through Sarandë (12 km), climbs the coastal SH8 past Borsh and Himarë, crosses the Llogara Pass (1,027 m) and drops to Vlorë on the Bay of Vlorë. From Vlorë you join the A2 motorway via Fier and Lushnjë, then the A3 north to Tirana. Approximately 4h 25m total in non-peak conditions.
The coastal section south of Vlorë is two-lane mountain road — spectacular but slow in summer. North of Vlorë the motorway is fast and well-surfaced. Drop-off anywhere in Tirana — Skanderbeg Square hotels, Blloku district, or Tirana International Airport (TIA) 17 km north-west.
Everything specific to this route.
Around 4h 25m for 262 km in non-peak conditions. Summer Riviera traffic between Himarë and Vlorë can add 30–60 minutes.

Yes — Butrint is 4 km south of Ksamil. We can start the route there or stop briefly on the way out.
Rare, but the inland route via Gjirokastër and the A2 motorway is the standard alternative. Drive time stays similar.
"The coastal drive from Ksamil up over the Llogara Pass was breathtaking — our driver stopped for photos at the top. Smooth run into Tirana on the motorway after. Highly recommend."
"Door-to-door from our Ksamil hotel to Tirana with beach luggage and kids. Comfortable car, friendly driver, well-timed breaks along the Riviera. So much easier than the bus."
