Combine Berat's Ottoman history with the turquoise beaches of the Albanian Riviera for a varied 5–7 day southern Albania trip.
Last updated: September 2026
The Route
Start with two or three days in Berat, then head south toward Saranda and the beaches of the Riviera — see our transport guide for the connection. The contrast of inland history and coastal relaxation is one of Albania's great travel combinations.
Timing
Allow 5–7 days. For the coast, June and September offer warm water without the peak-season crowds of July and August.
