You wake up in Saranda as soft morning light reflects on the Ionian Sea. The town is calm, the water impossibly blue, and along the promenade a small boat is waiting. This is where your story with Lina Boat Trips begins.
The tour can start at different moments of the day, but the feeling is always the same: that quiet excitement that something special is about to happen. With life jackets on and smiles exchanged, the boat slips away from the harbor. Saranda slowly fades behind you, replaced by open water, salty air, and the steady rhythm of the waves.
The first surprise appears suddenly along the coast: The Cave of Milot. Dark stone, glowing water, and echoes that make the place feel alive. You pause, float, take photos, and let the silence sink in. Not far away is Anchor Cave, hidden and dramatic, where swimming feels like discovering a secret kept by the sea.
As the journey continues, time begins to slow. At Plazhi i Ridhës, the water is so clear it feels unreal. Some swim, some relax on the boat, others simply stare at the horizon, forgetting everything else. Then the coastline sharpens and rises at Kepi i Këmbës, where cliffs meet the sea and the captain shares small local stories you won’t find on any map.
And then comes Kroreza. This is where everything stops. The boat stays longer. People spread out, swimming, walking along the shore, floating silently in the water. Surrounded by cliffs and untouched nature, Kroreza feels timeless, as if nothing here has changed for decades.
Not far from there is Plazhi i Kakomes, smaller and intimate, with golden sand and turquoise water. A quiet place to swim, explore the rocks, or simply float and listen to the gentle waves.
As the tour continues, the light slowly softens. The sun moves lower, the sea turns warmer in color, and the sky begins to glow. The ride back is calmer now. Music plays softly. Cameras come out one last time. The sunset over the Ionian Sea closes the experience in the most beautiful way possible.
By the time Saranda reappears, you realize this wasn’t just a boat trip. It was a sequence of moments, hidden places, clear water, shared smiles, and that feeling of freedom you wish you could take home.
Lina Boat Trips isn’t just a tour.
It’s a story and you get to live it!
