4.Speed Boat Trip to Sazan Island, Haxhi Ali Cave and Karaburun

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 155 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $42

Set out from Vlore on a fast boat to Haxhi Ali Cave, Sazan Island, and Karaburun Peninsula. You’ll hear local stories, see a former military base, swim in clear water, and stop at a beach restaurant. Snorkeling and scuba equipment are advertised, but bring cash for lunch, drinks, umbrellas, and sunbeds.

“Great way to spend a day at the beach. We stayed for 1 hour at the first beach, Sazan. Then on to Haxhi Ali cave, which was very cool! We stopped there for about 15 min or so. Next stop Karaburun, just in time for lunch. You'll need to bring some cash if you want to eat at the restaurant there. Lunch ran us 2600 lek and we shared a plate of food. You can also rent an umbrella and 2 lounge chairs for 2000 lek. We spent 4 hours on Karaburun. Note that snorkel gear was not provided”
