Tourist Guide Saranda
Saranda is a small city situated in Southern Albania on the Ionian coast. It serves as a good base for exploring the most beautiful part of the Albanian coast—a strip known as the Albanian Riviera.
Saranda (a Greek word meaning ‘forty’) derives its name from a legend which dates back to the fifteenth century when 40 monks were decapitated by the Turks for not changing their religion.
The city has a population of about 30,000 and is characterized by a mild Mediterranean climate. On average, it has ten sunny months a year, with its maximum summer temperature rarely exceeding 30°C. April, May and September are the best months to visit Saranda. The economy is based primarily on fishing and the cultivation of mussels.
