Sarande

Sarande is southern Albania's main port and a beach resort. It is crowned by Lekuresi Castle, built by Suliman the Magnificent in 1537 to conquer Corfu and control Butrint.

Enver Hoxha had numerous bunkers built here.

Everywhere!

Communist Albania had some crazy weaponry.

Sarande had a great fireworks display on New Years, but no place in the entire city was open that evening, even to buy food. The ferry to Corfu rarely runs during the winter as well, so its better to visit Corfu using ferries from the Greek mainland.
