Tirana airport to Himare transfer - Himare bay Albanian Riviera

Himare is one of the jewels of the Albanian Riviera. Spread across a series of coves and cliffs between Dhermi and Sarande, the area encompasses several distinct beaches including Potami, Livadhi, and the town beach itself, each with clear turquoise water and a relaxed, unspoiled atmosphere. The old village above the modern town is one of the most authentic in southern Albania, with stone houses, Byzantine churches, and panoramic views over the Ionian Sea to Corfu. Himare has been growing steadily in popularity among European travelers who want the beauty of the Riviera without the busier crowds found further north or south.

Getting to Himare from Tirana Airport is a journey of approximately 190 km. The route heads south through central Albania, then climbs over the dramatic Llogara Pass before descending along one of Europe's most scenic coastal roads to the Ionian shore. The drive takes around 3 hours and rewards passengers with some of the best mountain and sea views Albania has to offer. A Himare Riviera private transfer from a pre-booked service is the smartest way to make this journey, with your price confirmed, your driver tracked to your flight, and your luggage handled from the moment you land.

With Tirana Airport Shuttle, every Tirana airport to Himare transfer is arranged personally before you travel. Our operations team reviews every booking, verifies all travel details, and monitors your flight in real time. If you are delayed, your driver waits. If you land early, your driver is ready. See all our transfer services or check customer reviews from previous Riviera travelers.

Many of our Himare customers also visit Dhermi to the north or Sarande to the south during their stay. Our drivers know the coast road well and are happy to suggest the best beaches, viewpoints, and local restaurants in the area.

Why Choose Us

The Himare Riviera Transfer That Starts Your Holiday Right

Tirana Airport Shuttle was founded in 2021 by Donald Merdanaj at a time when Albania's tourism was growing fast but no dedicated airport transfer company existed. Travelers arriving at Tirana International Airport had to negotiate with unregulated taxis, with no fixed pricing, no booking confirmation, and no certainty about the driver for a long mountain route like the one to Himare. We changed that.

Our professionally licensed drivers speak English, Albanian, and Italian. Those covering the Riviera routes know the Llogara Pass, the coastal road, and the individual beaches and accommodation in Himare well. Many guests arrive asking for local recommendations and leave with a list of beaches, restaurants, and hidden spots. Read our full company story here.

We serve international tourists, families, adventure travelers, business professionals, and tour operators across Albania. The Himare route is one of our most scenically spectacular. Any questions? Visit our FAQ page.
