Sarandë, Coastal town in southern Albania
Saranda extends along the Ionian Sea coast with white buildings rising on hillsides facing an expansive bay near Corfu Island.
The settlement originated as the ancient port of Onchesmus, serving as a vital connection between Epirus and Italy during Roman times.
Local markets in Saranda present fresh seafood, Mediterranean produce, and regional specialties reflecting Albanian and Greek influences.
Regular ferry services connect Saranda with Corfu, making it a convenient entry point for travelers exploring the Albanian Riviera.
The Forty Saints Monastery ruins above Saranda display architectural elements from the 6th century, when the town received its current name.
