About Port of Sarandë

Sarandë is a seaport in southern Albania, situated on the Ionian Sea. It handles general cargo and pleasure craft. The port is undergoing expansion to include a cruise line terminal, though currently, larger cruise ships anchor offshore.

Background
The Port of Sarandë or Sarandë Harbor is a port of Albania in the city of Sarandë. As of 2012, the port is undergoing an expansion to include a cruise line terminal. Stemming from the small size of the port, cruise lines cannot dock at the port. Instead, a fast boat serves tourists back and forth between cruises and the port.
