Highlights
  • Sazan Island - To discover the wonders of the historic and mysterious Sazan Island, you will need a boat that BoatVentours with its qualified staff will be happy to provide. The tour will start from the city center of Vlora (Hotel Bologna), heading towards the island of Sazan with comfortable and brand new boats/inflatable boats from the year of production 2022 (50 minutes of navigation).

Once you arrive on the island, our staff will guide you through the old city on top of the mountain and explain the mysterious and fascinating history that this island carried on during the dark period of the communist regime in Albania. There will be many beautiful photo opportunities that our staff will capture for you. For those who don’t feel like walking, you can relax on the island’s beach where the sea, intertwined with the sun’s rays, will offer you priceless relaxation. To beat the heat, we will have cool drinks on board.

  • Shpella e Haxhi Aliut (Haxhi Ali Cave) - Our adventure begins at 9:00 am, as we set sail towards the cave of the Balkans’ most famous pirate, Haxhi Ali. The journey to the cave takes around 30-40 minutes and, upon our arrival, we are greeted by the promise of mystery and excitement. Inside, we spend about 40 minutes immersed in history and nature, where we uncork a bottle of prosecco for a symbolic toast to our health and to immortalize beautiful moments through our lenses. The cave invites us to swim, explore and marvel at its extraordinary natural beauty
  • Three little beaches - The splendid San Vasil beach is characterized by a pebble coastline where you can swim, snorkel and enjoy the crystal clear waters. You will spend your free time immersed in the beautiful wilderness surrounding the beach.
  • Cape Galoveci - Cape Galoveci is made up of a series of limestone rocks with wild and varied shapes, which create a breathtaking natural landscape.
  • Plazhi Shen Vasili - Shen Vasil Beach in Karaburun is a true hidden gem, perfect for those looking for a quiet retreat away from the tourist crowds. Located on the picturesque Karaburun Peninsula in Albania, this beach offers an enchanting slice of paradise surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Shen Vasil stands out for its crystal clear, turquoise waters that gently lap a shore composed mainly of smooth pebbles and small areas of fine sand.
