Adriatic and Ionian coast
Durrës and Golem, Shëngjin, Vlora, Himara, Saranda and Ksamil on one page: what each place is like and where to find its listings on hyrja.al.
From Shëngjin in the north to Ksamil in the far south: a short note on each place and links to its searches on hyrja.al.
Albania's main seaport and one of its oldest cities, linked to Tirana by motorway. Many people live here all year, while the long sandy beach south of the city fills with holidaymakers in summer.
Plazh
Beside the beach, south-east of the centre.
Shkëmbi i Kavajës
Continues along the beach toward Golem, with many holiday apartments in blocks close to the sea.
Currila
On the hill north-west of the old town, looking out over the bay.
Golem
A beach resort south of Durrës, in the municipality of Kavajë, with a long, shallow sandy beach lined with hotels and apartment buildings.
A small port and beach town on the northern coast, in the municipality of Lezhë, with a sandy beach and hills behind it. The Kune-Vain lagoons are nearby, and most homes are apartments bought as holiday homes.
A university city and regional centre on a wide bay where the Adriatic gives way to the Ionian Sea, facing the Karaburun peninsula and Sazan island, so year-round residents and summer visitors both shape demand.
Lungomare
The promenade running south from the centre along the bay, lined with apartment buildings.
Radhimë
Further south along the bay, where homes and hotels climb the hillside above small beaches.
The main town of the riviera between Vlora and Saranda, with its old town and castle quarter on the hill and a lower town by Spile beach. Ownership on parts of this coast has long been disputed, so have the title checked at ASHK by an independent lawyer before any payment.
The main town of the southern Ionian coast, built like an amphitheatre around a bay facing Corfu, with ferries to the island. Much of the housing is recent and some of it is let to tourists in summer.
A small village south of Saranda, at the southern end of the riviera, known for its small islands and beaches facing Corfu. It borders Butrint National Park, so check the building permit and any legalisation at ASHK before paying a deposit.

On the coast, part of the housing is used for holidays, which changes what to check before you buy or rent.
When comparing apartments near the coast, look at the floor, the view, the orientation and the distance to the beach, and ask how the building is run outside the summer, when many units stand empty.
Houses and villas on the coast are fewer than apartments. Check road access, water and power supply, and whether the plot is inside the approved building zone, since many coastal homes were built or extended in stages.
Coastal and near-coastal land is subject to national and local planning rules and, in places, to protected-area limits. Before paying, check the land category, the zoning, road access and the full ownership history at ASHK.
For apartments on the coast, ask whether the owner offers a twelve-month lease or only summer stays, whether the furniture is included and how the flat is heated in winter, since many holiday flats only have air conditioning.
