Experience Overview

Depart from Saranda’s main boulevard on a Boat Tour Saranda, exploring the Ionian Sea with stops at Turtle Cave, Kakome Bay, and Krorez Beach.

Trip Details

Begin your day by boarding a comfortable boat along the main boulevard for a Boat Tour Saranda, where the Ionian Sea stretches out just steps away from the promenade. After meeting the crew, you’ll leave the coast behind and cruise south along Albania’s rugged shoreline, with clear water and rocky coves setting the tone for a relaxed day at sea.

 

Boat Tour Saranda: Coastal Stops and Swimming Experience

 

The first stop brings you to the Turtle Cave, a natural cave carved into the rock and accessible only by boat. You’ll have time to swim inside the cave, float nearby, and take photos as light reflects off the stone walls. From there, the boat continues to Soldier’s Beach, a quiet stop ideal for a short swim and a break from open water.

 

The cruise then moves on to Rrojdhe Bay, followed by Gremina Beach, both offering calm conditions and clear water for swimming. These stops are short and easy, giving you a chance to cool off, relax on deck and enjoy the coastline without rushing.

 

Later, you’ll reach Kakome Bay, surrounded by cliffs and known for its deep blue water. After swimming here, the boat heads to Krorez Beach, where you’ll spend several hours enjoying one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. With plenty of time to swim, relax on the shore or enjoy the sea, this is the longest and most leisurely stop of the day, and the one people usually talk about first afterward.

 

In the afternoon, the boat begins the return journey to Saranda, arriving back along the boulevard with sun, salt, and the quiet satisfaction of having spent the entire day exactly where you were supposed to be.
