Hotels near Saranda Promenade & Waterfront

Saranda's palm-lined promenade curves the length of its horseshoe bay and is the heart of town life. By day it is a place to stroll, swim off the small town beaches, and gaze across the strait to the mountains of Corfu; by evening it fills with the xhiro, the traditional Albanian evening walk.

Cafes, bars, and seafood restaurants line the waterfront, serving fresh fish and cold drinks as the sun sets over the water. The whole seafront has been smartened up in recent years, and it remains the natural place to start and end each day in Saranda.

Pro Tip: Join the evening xhiro around sunset, when the whole town comes out to walk. The northern end of the bay is quieter and has the best swimming spots close to the centre.
