Go on a nocturnal boat party
Party on a boat? That’s one thing. Party on a boat under the night sky? That’s the next level. You can have that in Saranda. There are several boat departing every night near the promenade for a one hours night trip around the bay and the entrance fee is 5 to 10 euros, depending on the boat.

There are several rooftops by the promenade that will offer you the best cocktails with a spectacular view. We suggest you Tipsy Bar & Rooftop Bar for a nice experience. They are easily reachable and the staff is very friendly.

Explore the sea with a semi-submarine
This red semi-submarine is a novelty for the city and the only one in Albania so far. The tour lasts about 1 hour and you can choose different times in a way when you want to take it. The best thing about it is that you can see the bottom of the sea from the transparent bottom and underwater windows, but you can still go above and breath some fresh air if you don’t feel like being inside the submarine for the whole hour.
