Description
Saranda or Sarande is the capital of the Sarande district in Albania and one of the main tourist attractions on the Albanian Riviera. The town is situated in an open bay in the Ionian Sea in the Mediterranean, 2 nautical miles from the Greek island of Corfu.
Due to its coastal location and Mediterranean climate, Saranda became a major tourist attraction after the fall of communism in Albania. Saranda and the rest of the Albanian Riviera are becoming the new "unexplored jewel" of the overcrowded Mediterranean.
