“Albania 🇦🇱 ~Back in Sarandë”

We arrived in Sarande this afternoon from Gjirokastër, with a climb over a mountain pass, then dropping back down into the Albanian Riviera. We had hoped to see the Director of UNESCO again, before we left, but the busy crowds, before we noticed she had arrived for the 50-year Anniversary celebration of the towns relics, drove us out, with such limited parking, and we were happy to be on our way, again.

We love our digs at the mistrial Beach Hotel with a view and free parking. We are ready to relax for the rest of the day, and enjoy a nice dinner, later.

Sarandë is a busy and trafficy seaside city. There are some pretty parts, though. We found such a place out fo the central part of the city. The restaurant is okay, just not enough tourists to warrant a full menu, so pasta, and pizza are available.

We have one more site to see, tomorrow, a bit out of town, before we head for Macedonia. (it’s not another castle) 😉 We also have to figure out our passage from here to Lake Ohrid In Macedonia 🇲🇰 Will this be by Bus? Shuttle? Hired car? We do not know as yet. We have to turn our rental car back in tomorrow. When we get to Macedonia, we will get another rental car, there.

We have a nice view from our room

There are many hotels open and ready to welcome visitors. We have this place to ourselves, as it is midweek. The weekends gets busier
We are now in Sarande. Very Southeast. This is the town we rented the car in, several weeks ago, and need to return it by the end of this week. We made a long and large loop all over Albania, and feel like we saw the best parts.
