The Riviera road is beautiful and slower than the map suggests.
What to know
- Expect hairpins south of Llogara — keep speed down and let locals pass when safe.
- Fill up in Vlora or Himarë; smaller villages can have limited fuel hours.
- Pull into signed viewpoints only. Soft verges by the cliff edge are not parking spots.
Book a car with decent brakes and AC; the climb from the coast gets warm in summer.

How long is Vlora to Saranda?
Plan 3–4 hours without long stops. Add more time in July–August.
