Butrinti ‘Buthrotum’

Butrinti ‘Buthrotum’

UNESCO heritage site

Butrint National Park is conveniently located 17 kilometers south of Saranda, with a direct bus connection that reaches the archaeological site in about 30 minutes. This bus route passes through Ksamil and departs from the Saranda ferry terminal. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Butrint is the most visited archaeological site in Albania, drawing visitors from around the world.

During the summer, Butrint can become quite busy with thousands of tourists. To optimize your visit, consider arriving early in the morning to avoid crowds from tour groups arriving from Corfu, or visit late in the afternoon after they have departed.
