What's the best time to book tours from Saranda?

Spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) are peak-the weather's stable and the longer heritage tours run reliably. Summer crowds are real here, so if you want breathing room on group tours, book those shoulder months ahead by a few weeks.

How far ahead should I book if I want a specific tour?

The 7 and 10-day Albania heritage loops fill up 2-4 weeks out in high season. Private transfers and boat experiences have more flexibility, but checking availability a week or two before matters if you're traveling July-August.

Do I need a guide for the main sights, or can I do them on my own?

The Blue Eye and Ksamil beaches are reachable solo, but the UNESCO heritage tours pack in archaeology and history that a guide actually explains-the tour catalog shows people book these as full 7-day programs, not DIY half-days. The context matters more than the sights themselves.

What's the deal with all these private transfers to Greek airports?

Saranda's your final stop if you're looping through Albania, or your entry point from Corfu. The transfers to Thessaloniki, Preveza, and Ioannina airports are booked because there's no major airport in Saranda itself-check drive times and ferry schedules before you go.

Is Saranda good for families?

The boat trips and Blue Eye visits work well for kids, and you're not far from the Corfu day-trip option. The longer heritage tours involve a lot of driving and archaeological sites-check age and stamina expectations with the operator before booking.

What do guided tours typically include?

The multi-day heritage tours include accommodation and site entrance fees, plus transport. The half-day private tours usually cover guide and transport but not meals-check your booking confirmation for specifics before arrival.
