Local booking tip

If you’re thinking about booking a boat trip along the Riviera, try to do it a day or two in advance rather than at the last minute, especially in high season. The boats are small, often family-run, and spots get snapped up early. Also, consider joining a midweek trip if your schedule allows; weekends are busiest. For historic site tours like Gjirokastër’s castle and old bazaar, morning tours are less crowded and usually cooler, which makes the experience a lot more comfortable during summer months.
