Hire a car for a wider itinerary

Compare airport car-hire options if your plans include several beaches, village visits and a day in Llogara.

Choose your car around luggage and parking needs, and ask your host for the easiest approach to the property.

Choose the tunnel or the mountain scenery

The Llogara Tunnel opened in 2024 to shorten journeys towards the southern coast.

For Llogara’s forest and viewpoints, plan a visit to the mountain road and park as part of your itinerary.

Plan the last part of the journey

Village, beach and Drymades addresses can mean different arrival points. Share the map pin with your driver before setting off.

If arriving by bus, agree your drop-off point and the route to your stay before you travel.

Stay without a car

For a stay without a car, prioritise a beach address near the places you will use daily and arrange transfers for longer outings.
