What is the fastest way of reaching Albanian tourist attractions?
When I went to Albania on a day trip, I was told that it was the tourist destination of the future (but there again they would say that)
It's certainly developing fast, and would attract tourists with it's scorching hot temperatures, it's beaches to lay on and Burtrint National Park to feast your eyes upon.
The problem is, the only airport is nowhere near the tourist destinations (5 hours I believe)
My question is - What is the quickest way to get to Albania from the UK, are flights (or whatever form of travel) frequent, and is there progress on building a new airport near tourist destinations such as Saranda?
When I went for a day trip, I went from Corfu by boat on an organised tour. Corfu is only about 7 miles from Albania at the nearest points. But going from port to port, you're looking at around 1 and a half hours.
Best Answer
The answer depends on where exactly you want to go. If you're going for Shkodra, the fastest route would be to fly to Montenegro and take a cab:
If you want to go to Vlore, where some of the best beaches are, you could instead fly to Tirana and take a bus:
Considering how fast things tend to get built in Southern Europe, I wouldn't hope to fly into a new airport any time soon. Use Rome2Rio to optimize your route between flying into Montenegro, Albania or Greece.

The easiest way to get to the Albanian Riviera is to fly into the Greek island of Corfu and take the ferry over to Sarande/Saranda, Albania.
