Albania cruise ports

Albania faces the Adriatic and Ionian seas, with coastal towns backed by a mountainous interior. A cruise visit offers a limited window into a country whose seaside settlements and inland places have quite different settings. Start with the port named on your itinerary, then decide whether to stay close to the waterfront or arrange a journey beyond it. Read the individual arrival notes before choosing transport, and leave room for the return trip. The guides below distinguish practical landing information from ideas for spending your time ashore.
