Amazing Day Trip to Albania with Ionian Cruises I recently took the Day Trip to Albania with Ionian Cruises from Corfu, and it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, the trip was well- organised and packed with stunning views and rich history. The journey started with a comfortable boat ride to Saranda, where we had time to explore the charming seaside town. The highlight of the trip was definitely the visit to Butrint National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient ruins, set in a lush, natural landscape, were fascinating to explore, and the guide provided insightful commentary throughout the tour. The schedule allowed for just the right amount of time at each stop without feeling rushed. I also appreciated the professionalism of the Ionian Cruises staff; they were friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Overall, this day trip is an excellent way to get a taste of Albania’s beauty and history in just one day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique adventure from Corfu!
