The most practical southern coast base for restaurants, supermarkets, ferries, and trips to nearby sights.
Tradeoff: It is busier and more urban than smaller Riviera bases, especially in the high summer season.
A quieter Riviera base for travelers who want a smaller coastal rhythm and access to nearby beaches.
Tradeoff: Transport, shopping, and late-night options are less flexible than in Saranda, especially without a car.
The easiest flexible starting base, with the widest choice of services, restaurants, and onward connections.
Tradeoff: It is a city base, not a beach base, so add a second stop for a coast-led holiday.
