Very professional and friendly bus drivers. Remember to buy the tickets at least 1-2 days in advance at the ticket office next to the archeological site. You have several departures to chose from. You will get a paper ticket to show the bus driver.

A lot of chaos, but you can get used to it. Reservations apply. Tickets are bought at the box office, not from the driver. The bus is comfortable, with air conditioning. We left on time. It is worth equipping yourself with tickets at least one or two days in advance

Doggy for women travelling solo. For some reason, the man behind the counter gave out my destination to a complete stranger who asked him for it (not me). this stranger, who did not work for any bus company, promptly ran off to inform some other bloke who walked off. On the bus itself, a man sat down next to me and began interrogating me as to my name and destination, without offering any introduction or even smiling. Gives me a very uncomfortable vibe that solo women travellers being watched and followed, probably by criminals, probably for reasons that are not good at all. Be very careful. Albanian bus companies should be training their staff to respect and protect women's safety and not just relying on copious cheap CCTV cameras to solve crime after it occurs.

The only bus terminal in Albania we came by which is a bit a mess. It seems that you get not quite the exact informations. We wanted to go to Himare. It seems that every bus going to Tiranë stops there, but they tell you that you have to wait for the Bus only going to Himare which leaves at 11:30 and 14:30. Further buses are more expansive here in the south. Generally no need to come to Sarande anyway. Ksamil is highly overrated and Sarande itself has nothing to offer. Better move on to Himare quickly :)

A ticket from Saranda to Tirana costs 1500 lek. After about 2 hours, the bus takes a break at a rest area. It was a bit poorly signposted and a long line can sometimes last there because the ticket seller has to write everything on the ticket by hand.

We drove from Saranda to Tirana for approx. 5 hours, with only one stop, air conditioning for a while, not for a while.

It is a shame that in a city as touristic as Saranda there is not a dedicated terminal for every traveler, with professional workers and drivers. This is not a terminal, this is a parking lot on the street that worries everyone, residents and tourists alike. Shame.

Buses depart from here to Tirana and Durres. This is where they come. They go from 5 am. About 6 flights per day

I do not recommend them, as they are not able to organize thier work and not qualified in dealing with travelers, and they ask about the passport for an unknown or understandable reason. I waited a long time to buy the ticket and waited for the bus a lot
