To the heart of the Ionian coast — 201 km from Tirana to Dhërmi, about 3h 15m over the spectacular Llogara Pass. Door-to-door to the beach, the old village on the hill, or Drymades. One of the great Riviera drives.
Tirana to Dhërmi runs 201 km — the fast road to Vlorë, then the coastal climb over the Llogara Pass and down to the Riviera. About 3h 15m door-to-door, all-inclusive: fuel, tolls and an English-speaking driver.
Pickup in Tirana. South via Fier toward Vlorë, where the coastal Riviera road begins.
The road climbs to over 1,000 m through the Llogara pine forest, then opens to a sweeping view of the Ionian coast far below — the signature photo stop of the drive.
Down the coast to Dhërmi — the turquoise beaches, the old stone village up the hillside, or the Drymades and Gjipe coves. Door-to-door.
Per vehicle, not per person. All prices include tolls, fuel, luggage handling, water, and child seats on request.
Picked up and dropped off at your exact address
Motorway tolls covered, no extras

Professional, local, English-speaking driver
Heading back north? Dhërmi to Tirana is the same coastal route in reverse, same fixed price.
Book Dhërmi → Tirana →Dhërmi is one of the most photogenic spots on the Albanian Riviera — turquoise water, white-pebble beaches like Drymades and Gjipe, and a whitewashed old village climbing the hillside above. Reaching it from Tirana means the fast inland road to Vlorë, then the dramatic Llogara Pass over the Ceraunian Mountains before dropping to the coast. It's 201 km and about three and a quarter hours, and the Llogara section alone is worth the trip.
Dhërmi sits mid-coast, between Vlorë to the north and Himarë, Borsh and Sarandë to the south — all easy onward hops. If you're touring the Riviera, we can add stops along the way or quote a multi-stop transfer-tour. Door-to-door means we drop at a specific beach hotel or the village, not just on the main road.
Everything specific to this route.
About 3h 15m for 201 km. Most is fast road to Vlorë; the final stretch is the Llogara Pass and coastal road, which is slower but spectacular.
No — it's a fully paved, well-used mountain road with switchbacks and superb views. Your driver knows it well and will stop at the viewpoint for photos.
Yes — Vlorë, Himarë, Borsh and the Blue Eye are all along or near this route. A quick photo stop is free; longer stops can be added and quoted inclusively as a coastal transfer-tour.
From €175 per vehicle (sedan, 1–3 passengers), not per person — fuel, tolls, an English-speaking driver and door-to-door service to your beach hotel. Minivans are quoted on the same page.
The Riviera is a summer destination — roughly May to October, with July and August busiest. The Llogara road is open year-round but the coast is quiet out of season.
"The drive over Llogara was worth the whole trip — we stopped at the top for photos and the view down to the coast was unreal. Dropped right at our Dhërmi hotel. Comfortable and stress-free."
"Booked a private car from Tirana to Dhërmi to start our Riviera week. On time, air-conditioned, and the driver added a quick stop in Vlorë. Much better than the bus over that pass."
