Hi. I'm Linda, a tour guide for almost 10 years now. It's a pleasure and a big responsibility to be a kind of an ambassador for your country and show to everyone who wants to visit Albania, get closer to the history, culture, nature, real Albanian everyday life. Saranda and its locals take great pride in their culture and continue to protect it and to introduce it to their visitors. Although the Albanian cuisine has been heavily influenced by the Turkish and Greek cuisine, it has managed to sustain its authenticity and put its own flare to the foreign dishes. Not just nature, cuisine, sea, beaches, but no trip to Saranda would be completely over without having tasted the night life that keeps the city alive until the morning hours. Once the sun goes down, everyone trades their bathing suits for a party attire and head to the night clubs witch stretch all over the western side of the town. So if you haven't put Saranda, in your bucket list for the places to visit yet now is the time to. Saranda and its wonders welcome you in a world of tradition and development. Prepare your self for a different type of vacation, maybe not perfect but a very interesting one, hopefully one of the best ones. - My first training course as a tour guide was in 2008 and I got my first guiding certificate from USAID. A second one in 2011 from the Albanian Ministry of Tourism and Culture. - I got my official licence in 2017. - I'm an Italian teacher from 2005 and I have been studying English since the 6th grade at school.

Overview of your Sarande tour

In this tour you will discover one of the most well-preserved ancient cities in Albania. A real hidden gem surrounded by nature, always green and fit vegetation where it feels good in every season. A place where you can easily imagine and understand how constructions and life evolved in time from 4th century B. C to present times. A Roman theater, an ancient temple of Aesculapius, the Grand Basilica, the Baptistery, etc. In every step you take inside Butrint you will hear the birds singing and a nice smell from the laurel trees that have been there from the time of Cesar. The beauty of the lake ( Butrinti Lake) that surrounds the ancient city makes it more mysterious and wonderful. A nice breeze will follow you through the tour even during the high temperature days in July and August.
