This June, Saranda bursts with life and energy driven by tourism. The evening atmosphere offers visitors a full experience, pleasure, relaxation, and scenic beauty, all surrounded by countless service options.

The promenade is lively. Locals and tourists stroll side by side, while waiters offer menus and service with energy. Familiar tunes float through the air from the accordion of Vasil Çukua, who has become a constant presence on the walkway.

Nearby, a large screen draws film enthusiasts with nights dedicated to “Dea Open Air,” showcasing modern Albanian cinema.

Among the crowd, Italian videographer Marko offers personalized drone and camera footage. For 10 euros, tourists take home vivid video memories of their Saranda stay.

The well-known souvenir-making couple, Anika and Dritan Onjea, present handcrafted decorations made from shells. They prepare items in winter and offer personalized keepsakes on the spot.

Many visitors also plan ahead, booking boat tours for the next day. Ticket agents report growing demand, especially from Central Europe and the Nordics. According to Alfred Serjani, there has been a notable increase in French, Spanish, Swedish, and Norwegian tourists.

Evenings bring rhythm, movement, and spending. Weekends feel especially packed and varied. Already in June, the nights in Saranda grow longer and livelier, often with no clear end in sight.
