Sail from Corfu over to Albania

Visit the Graeco-Roman site of Butrint

Free time in Saranda

What to expect

Albania is just a short boat ride from Corfu. This often-overlooked country was closed to outsiders for decades and it's only now really beginning to flex its tourist muscles. On this full day excursion, you'll visit the ruins of ancient Butrint, go for lunch and enjoy free time in Saranda. The tour kicks off with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Butrint. Everyone from the Greeks to Romans to Ottomans left their mark on this ancient town. Walking through its ruins is like leafing through the pages of a living history book. Highlights include the amphitheatre and temple.A woodland stroll up to the Venetian hill fort will give you great views over the national park and the surrounding wetlands. Afterwards, you'll head for a buffet lunch in the hamlet of Karanxh. Finally there's an hour of free time to explore Saranda before returning to Corfu.

When we arrived we were taken to a hotel for coffee for 1 hour. We returned to the hotel for lunch ( 45 minutes) and had 35 minutes free time in the town. It would of been better to have less time for coffee. We booked on line and were instructed to inform rep in hotel, the rep didn't know why , the pick up point was not at our hotel the rep did not point this out to us and saw us waiting outside the hotel on the morning of the trip but did not asl us what we were doing.

An excellent day trip, organisation by Finekas Tours was brilliant throughout. Fantastic guide in Albania, who ensured everything ran to time and imparted so much interesting commentary and history during the day. Would recommend this trip to anyone who is on holiday in Corfu as a fascinating day out.

I really did enjoy the experience the guide was fantastic and really knew her stuff and the trip was mostly effortless. However i would say the following should be advertised when booking the trip - it is a really long trip and is not meant for those with young children - we saw there were young children present and whilst they were well behaved you could see them getting tired quite easily. The other recommendation is this - advertise beforehand where you are going names etc. Allow time to shop

Enjoyed the experience and the tour guide was fab. She was very informative however my only disappointment was the time it took to come back to our hotel. We caught the ferry at 4pm and got back to our hotel at 8.40pm whereby there was hardly any food left for our evening meal. I have taken pics and unfortunaly this was a poor ending to a lovely adventure.......

Throughly enjoyed this trip the quide was excellent we learnt so much about the history of Albania. Everything was explained in great detail. The only issue we had was getting back through customs at Corfu it was a free for all I was being pushed here and there. The system is totally unfair my husband did mention it to a lady waiting at Corfu customs and all she could say ( I know) .

Organisation a bit chaotic on the Corfu side (lack of communication more than anything) but very good once in Albania itself. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and brought the experience to life. Interesting historic ruins in a very unique location and well worth the visit. Be sure to bring lots of water if visiting in summer - it's very hot and humid.

It was a great trip to Albania, the day was very long which perhaps could have been made clearer on the website but for me it was fine (picked up at 7.30am and returned to hotel at 8pm), this was mainly due to the long queue at passport control at the port. The lunch included was at the perfect time and there were many good views. The tour guide I believe called Linda? Was amazing and so passionate about her country, she made the day which could had felt too much at times perfect!

The trip was good value for money. The guide in Albania was very knowledgeable about the city of Sarande and the other areas of the trip. The buffet meal in the hotel for lunch was very good and had something for everyone. We had 50 mins to explore which was ample due to the temperature that day.

It was a good trip. Albania feels like an up and coming destination. The people were very friendly and accommodating. It’s just a very long day and make sure you have all your documents in order. Also, read the small print: on top of the TUI ticket fee, there is a Greek port tax which cost us (two UK adults and a child) 45 Euros. Other families (I think with different passports) had to pay a LOT more up to 180 Euros. Passport control was also slow and tedious now the UK isn’t in the EU…

Not very happy with Tui.

I booked a day trip with Tui but Tui did not provide the trip. There was no rep. from Tui evident. This led to major confusion. If we had been aware that this trip had been organised by a third party we would have felt more secure. Tui have let us down badly. Very poor communication and service. Would certainly NOT recomend Tui.

The Guide was very informative but perhaps the visit to the ruins could have been shorter (it was a very hot day). The lunch was nothing special and we had little time to explore on our own (40 mins). We had a fast ferry there and a very slow one back making it almost a 12 hour day. Could have been better organised with too much waiting around in very hot weather.

I had difficulties at the port leaving Corfu as they wanted written permission from my children's Father before letting me take them on the ferry. The way they handled it was embarrassing and stressful, they even took our passports off me and demanded I call him (it was 6.30am UK time) This could easily been avoided if tui had made me aware of this when booking the trip. However everything else about the trip was excellent and our guide in Albania was great

we booked this Feb 24 for a Saturday @ 08.35 when advising rep as per form, he was surprised as there was no trip on that date, offered Sunday by call centre but Friday by rep. We amended our plans we took the trip on Friday 28th with a collection time of 07.55 ( though collection was late @ 08.20) trip was OK and we’re glad not to cancel. Our issue relates to as to why could we not have been advised earlier. Walking could have been reduced with break at top of castle.

Great day trip to Albania. Very knowledgeable guide. Excellent lunch at a 4 star hotel. Only bad point 90 minute's to get through passport control coming back, absolutely crazy. Would also like to know why we had to pay 15 euros per person to TUI for a port tax when we spoke to other English tourists who were doing the trip independently said they didn't have to pay any port tax??

As expected there was a lot of queuing. It was a shame the bus had to be combined with a German group as the multiple languages are confusing! The opportunity to visit Butrint was amazing, and interesting to see Albania. It was a shame our passports didn't get an Albanian stamp.

One of the best TUI trips that we have been on. The day was well organised and the guide, Linda, was amazing, so very knowledgeable and obviously proud of her Albanian heritage. The only slight concern was the lack of warning re the steps and terrain at Butrint, you need to publicise this as several elderly people did struggle. Overall though a great experience.

Boarding the boat outbound was a bit chaotic, not very clear instructions. Passport control both ways was quick and easy but it was early in the season, could see it being worse at peak time. Very early start so the coffee stop before going to Butrint was welcome. Guide and driver both excellent. Lunch was good, lots of choice.

Butrint was very nice, the lunch was good and also Sarande seemed nice. The main issue was that we ended up being away for 13 hours with only 1h40 min in Butrint, a bit less than an hour for lunch and 20 min in the end in Sarande. The rest of the time we were in the bus, waiting at the passport boarder control, boat (where we didn't get seats on the way back) and traffic jam. Because of that the free time was also always a bit rushed. Especially with our one year old it was challenging.

Not as grear as was hoping for

Since dropped off to Corfu Town it was one big chaos. Overall it was trip with big group, 2 full buses altogether and totally disorganised, some people was arguing with guide ladies. It was nice visit Albania but we stuck.in traffic and all tour guide was rush then was lunch in buffet form and it was lovely and we had about 1 hours spare free time, but not much wasn't there to do or see.

Attention!!! this is not a TUI trip, another company organizes it. confusion in the port (no one knows where to go or which bus to take) I asked twice and checked the tax in the port. the TUI office informed us as well as the hotel attendant that the tax is 10€, well, no, because 15€ per person. Cash payment only so be prepared! One of the attractions omitted (supposedly not enough time) I paid for everything and I didn't get it .... cheaper and better on your own. I DO NOT RECOMMEND !!!!

Finding a group is a miracle. bus without air conditioning and toilets. in the hotel, the resident said that the tax in the port is 10 € per person, while on the ship we paid 15 €. no one knew why and when asked for an explanation, we heard the answer "I only work here" after the resident returned. the hotel tried to tell me that I bought a trip from outside TUI (mean woman) personally it was nice to see on my own cheaper, better and without

A long day out but it was worth it. We were through passport control, on the fast boat and in Albania in good time. It soon becomes obvious that Albania is 90% mountains and 10% hills and plains. The guide took us around Butrint sharing her vast knowledge. She had to intervene when security stopped me from leaving having taken a photo in the small museum. When buying items in Saranda get the price in Euros first and have the correct money. Return takes 2-3hrs, only 1 person on the passport desk.

Going to Albania, the use of the hydrofoil rather than normal ferry was a bonus in that it meant we got to Butrint much quicker than I had expected. Shame that we didn't have it for the return journey as well. Excellent guided tour of the Butrint archaeological site. It could have been improved by having extra free time to revisit points of interest for more photo opportunities. The free time in Sarande was uninspiring, but the visit to the castle was excellent. The meal was only average.

Overall the trip was good. The tour, guide and meal in Albania were excellent. However the Finikas staff in Corfu (agent appointed by TUI) were disappointing - 1 We were informed once we boarded the Ferry, we had to pay a departure tax of €15 each. No official receipt given. Why did we not pay this at passport control? Another Tour company (Magic Tours) did not make their customers pay. 2 Transfer back to hotel was poorly organised. Taken off our original bus, for an overcrowded one!!

Rather than leaving negative feedback,I wish to share info to help; 1.) Take lots of water no air conditioning on the bus. 2.) Tui do not lable the collection bus, the driver will just say going to Albania. 3.) Tui don't guide this tour,it's out sorted to Finalnk 4.) You will be give a boarding pass and sent round the front.... you don't see another guide till you bored a boat. 5.) Go round the front que on the left. 6.) Find a finklan boat. 7.) Return, allow 3-4 hrs quing! Enjoy you trip.

The trip the the ruins was amazing and the tour guides were great, all along the countryside they highlighted things and told us all about albania. They were so knowledgeable. The time passing through the port was ridiculous, it took so long that we had to cut out tour of the ruins short. Maybe set off earlier to allow for the time delay at the port.

Our guide was all everything you need in a guide. She had a sense of humour and was considerate. Her knowledge was genuine, this showed when pumped with questions by a group member who was very enthusiastic about historical facts relating to the site. The ruins were located within a national park, beautiful and well shaded in the heat. The food stop was perfect, with delicious food on offer. There were lengthy waits at the port and passport control, so I was glad I brought water and a snack.

The guide was excellent, very personal in her stories and she was very enthusiastic. The group was a little too large. The main negative was the queuing, to get through passport control and even to pay the tax on the boat. It seems very bureaucatic that we could not start the boat journey and have staff collect the tax during the sailing. Or even better, TUI should include it in their excursion fee. Also would suggest that TUI could offer a second excursion destination in Albania from Corfu.

This was an interesting place to visit however the travelling time was much longer than expected. The archaeological site was amazing though I would have preferred to explore by myself as the guide was slow and had no more knowledge than the information boards. The next stop for lunch (at 3pm) was very tasty and plentiful. The final free hour was at Saranta, lovely promenade but nothing but restaurants and we had just had lunch so nothing to do. Trip not "exclusive to TUI", not a rep in site.

We really enjoyed the archeological site and seeing Sarande and the countryside. You need to warn travellers that the site is in a forest and there are LOTS of biting insects, so use of a repellent is important. We thought the lunch was a little plain. Other meals at the restaurant looked more appetising. We really didn’t like the queue for the port taxes (1.5 hours) but the coach home was well organised. It was a big trip (4 coaches) and it was not exclusive to TUI.

The restaurant was beautiful, so definitely a great choice!

We had an excellent guide taking us through the ruins, her knowledge was amazing as was her history lesson about Albania. The only thing we didn't appreciate was the stop off for food, not the food itself but 3euros for a 250ml bottle of coke was a complete rip off, I personally would have preferred more time at the resort where we docked whereupon we could have choosen our own food and had a swim.

Having left at 7am, it took 5 hours to get to Albania. Queues at the port were 2 hours and the boat was late, leaving limited time in Albania. This is not a TUI tour, run by another tour company and there was no TUI representation to ask questions. The UNESCO site was great, but the guide told us to hurry up whilst we were looking around as we were late. Had 30 minutes to walk around the city since the whole day was late, which was a quick walk on the promenade. Arrived back at hotel at 9:15pm.

We booked in height of summer and it took 2 hours queueing in the sun to go through passport control before getting in the boat. The tour guide in Albania was excellent and made the trip to Butrint very informative and interesting. The lunch in the restaurant was lovely. Overall, well worth it if you’re interested in history, not for children under 12 I’d say due to the length of time queueing and the hours spent travelling. An interesting but long day for adults and interested teens.

We loved the visit and tour of Butprint and watching the countryside on our way there. It was great to see so many civilisations. Our teenagers were very excited to see (sadly only very briefly) the communistic bunkers. It would be a special experience for them if the bus stopped for 5-10mins to see the bunkers (even just one!) in person and have a picture taken. Wish we were warned about the price hikes between Butprint (4€ for a magnet;12€ for Tshirt) and Serande (€2 for magnet;€8 for Tshirt).

Excellent day out. My only suggestion is that we could have done with more info up front (I understand this is being looked at) as while everything worked out well we didn’t know what to expect at each stage - eg initial delays getting onto the boat translated into a slick process at the other side. Very interesting tour and a very knowledgeable guide who really knew her subject and explained well.

Despite the TUI advert, this is not an eight hour trip, we were picked up at 7.40 am and did not arrive back at the hotel until 8.20 pm. That’s more than 12 hours. The situation at Corfu port was appalling; a one and a half hour queue for passport control, with people having to stand in the searing heat before entering the port building. I appreciate this is not an issue that TUI have control over, but it spoiled the trip. In fact, from leaving the hotel to the boat leaving Corfu port took 2.5 h

The guide was very good and the trip interesting.The coach pick up was on time.however when we got on the boat we sat for an hour and 30 mins before it left. When we came home the trip to corfu was good but we then sat on the boat for 30 min until allowed to queue for customs for 20 mins.your website says 8 hour trip but in truth it is over 11.i hate to think what it is like main season when there are more people to process through customs.. checking of names and collecting port tax on boat slow

Amazing experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was it is a long day especially where we stayed in Corfu, 7am start and back at the hotel just before 9pm.

A lot of waiting before boarding boat and again coming back. Although this was down to passport control only having two officers working. The boat I think did overcharge for water €1.5 for a small bottle and you couldn't purchase any in Albania between boat and boarding coach. The tour guide was very good and spoke good english. Overall an enjoyable excursion with a nice lunch and a little free time to explore yourself.

I enjoyed visiting the ancient site as well as the boat trip between Corfu port and Saranda. Lunch was alright as the restaurant got wi-fi access so we could connect with others. However, we had an unpleasant experience during the transport between the hotel and Corfu port, as we were changed by 3 vehicles! First we were taken by a taxi and dropped in the middle of the mountain with nobody around. More than 10 minutes later a minibus came and drove a bit longer to change to another bus. Alas.

Trip was fantastic, staff were so knowledgable and informative. Trip was fantastic with stunning views. Was a very long day however, could have done with a slightly shorter day or more time at the ruins rather than in town.

Could of had a bit more information when on the coach as to what was going on and what was happening as we felt a bit confused when we got to the port. The boat ride was enjoyable, once we arrived in Albania, our tour guide was excellent, I think she even told off our driver at one point for making not moving the coach which we found funny. Lunch was good, cold but that was understandable as it was a buffet. Overall it was very enjoyable and a must trip to do.

Really nice hotel, food selection is great.drinks is good, staff are excellent. Leisure activities although I didn’t do any seemed a bit poor. Hotel is away from main corfu town (45min drive) which is nice but not much else around. There is a path to walk to next beach with a few lovely restaurants but is a bit of a hike if your not good at walking. Beach is all stones so need to bring some aqua shoes.hotel has a shop inside which sells lots of souvenirs, beach stuff and some snacks.

Our main issue was the 3.5 hours from pick up before trip got going. 1.5 hours was sat on uncomfortable seat on boat in port. Lack of clear instructions at the ports on both sides. Boat very crowded. Tour group was far too big. Guide was good and Butrint very interesting but a lot of wasted time before we got to Albania.
