Port of Saranda records a strong increase in passenger traffic during the first four months of 2026. Port director Admir Malaj says the port welcomed 52,770 passengers from January to April.

This marks a 72% increase compared to 2025. In April alone, 30,567 passengers passed through the port, an increase of 10,510 compared to the same month last year.

Malaj links the growth to improved port infrastructure and better ferry connections with Corfu. He says security measures have been strengthened. Cooperation with border police, customs, and port authorities has also increased.

Ferry services have expanded schedules between Corfu and Saranda. Saranda continues to attract high numbers of domestic and international tourists thanks to its beaches, archaeology, and natural attractions.
