Description

Embark on a one-of-a-kind maritime adventure along Albania’s southern coast, departing daily from Vlora. Your journey begins at 10:00 AM from Vlora Port as you set sail for Sazan Island, once a restricted military zone. Unlike standard tours, you’ll step ashore to explore abandoned bunkers and ruins while learning about the island’s fascinating strategic history. Continue cruising along the dramatic cliffs of the Karaburun Peninsula until you reach the legendary Haxhi Ali Pirate Cave. Here you can swim or snorkel in crystal-clear waters while your guide shares captivating pirate tales and hidden stories. The tour then anchors at the secluded Saint Vasil Beach, one of Karaburun’s most pristine and peaceful spots. With no road access, it offers the perfect escape for swimming, snorkeling, or sunbathing. Your ticket includes one complimentary drink to refresh you during the trip. For those wishing to enhance the experience, you can also enjoy a fresh fish barbecue with traditional side dishes, prepared directly on the boat (optional, not included in the ticket price). For a magical finale, choose the sunset version of the tour, where the coastline glows in golden light and the atmosphere becomes unforgettable. With small-group access, professional guides, and authentic local touches, this full-day experience transforms a simple boat trip into a cultural and natural journey you’ll always remember.
