For the more adventurous who wish to enjoy a different experience this one day cruise to the fascinating country of Albania is a real gem.

After our departure from the port of Corfu we travel along the Albanian shores to the port of Ag. Saranda City. Once our passports are checked, the local tourist guide will introduce you to this ancient city with its fascinating history since before 552 AD. You will have 1.5hrs of free time here.

Once in Ag. Saranda you'll have the option over two additional tours: a 20km tour by coach of the south coast with its virgin shores and scattered islands and a guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Butrint (both tours are payable locally).

Over the centuries, the ancient town of Butrint had disappeared under layers of silt and vegetation but archaeologists have uncovered one of the best remains of a working town in the Mediterranean.

At the edge of the lake where the ancient city of Vouthrota is situated, with its archaeological monuments and ancient theatre, you are taken 2500 years back in time to the 3rd century AD. The ancient gymnasium, the Roman baths, the ancient temple with the most amazing mosaic floor and enormous stone walls will take you back to a time not known to modern day man.

On the top of the hill lies the castle of Ali Passa, a remnant of the Ottoman Empire, from this position we have a panoramic view of the Ancient City, the lake and the vast plains, a breathtaking sight.

Upon your return to the city of Ag. Saranda, enjoy a delicious lunch (price not included with ticket) followed by an afternoon tour of the town before returning to the port for your journey back to Corfu.

This Cruise Terminates at Corfu Port.
