Sazan & Karaburun Cruise – A Daily Tour from Vlore

Begin your journey with a scenic boat trip to Sazan Island, Albania’s largest island and part of the Karaburun-Sazan National Marine Park. This protected reserve combines unspoiled nature with Cold War-era military structures, offering a fascinating glimpse into the island’s strategic past. Explore the Gulf of Shenkoll, visit old fortifications, and relax at Admiral Beach before cruising along dramatic cliffs and hidden coves like Hell’s Hell, The Devil’s Bay, and Rocky Rocks.

Continue to the legendary Haxhi Ali Cave, once a refuge for the famous 16th-century pirate, then sail along the Karaburun Peninsula, discovering pristine beaches such as Saint Jan, Aquamarine, and Saint Basil. Cross the Bay of Vlora to admire the Riviera di Valona and its coastal highlights. With a rich history of Greek, Roman, Ottoman, Venetian, and Italian rule, Sazan today remains largely uninhabited, preserving its natural beauty and Cold War-era bunkers while offering a unique experience for visitors.
