Stops at fascinating locations along the road, such as the historic city of Vlore or the rocky outpost Petrele Castle, will improve your road journey. Along with dividing the trip, these breaks provide unique perspectives on Albania's natural and cultural beauties.
Albania uses the Lek (ALL), and although credit payments are becoming more common, it's smart to carry cash, especially in small towns and villages along the road. Despite Dhërmi's popularity as a tourist attraction, you may still come across establishments that prefer cash.
Albania's roads can be narrow and winding, notably on the route from Tirana to Dhërmi, especially as you near the Llogara Pass. Drive carefully; be ready for occasional abrupt turns and steep climbs. If you have never driven in such conditions, think about hiring a local driver. </show-more>

The most flexible approach is driving from Tirana to Dhërmi, allowing you to make stops and take in the breathtaking scenery. The path winds via the magnificent Llogara Pass, where you will be greeted with panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and the rocky Albanian mountains. Renting a car or a private Tirana to Dhërmi transfer with Daytrip lets you go at your own speed, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. Add optional stops at places like the family-run Cobo Winery.
For those looking for a more budget option, the bus is a cheap way of getting from Tirana to Dhërmi. Usually, depending on traffic and stops, the journey takes 4 to 5 hours. Since buses usually leave the Tirana International Bus Terminal, check the schedule ahead and arrive early to guarantee you get a seat.
Shuttle services and taxis are more convenient than buses, especially for door-to-door service. Shuttles could have fewer stops than standard buses, therefore cutting travel time. Taxis provide the fastest and most direct route but are generally more expensive. If you prefer comfort and ease, a private shuttle or taxi is a great choice.

“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!”

Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.”
