Ksamil & Saranda party FAQ: tickets, times and getting back
Quick answers for a party trip to Ksamil and Saranda on the Albanian Riviera, taken from the official ticket listings and from official sources on travel, money and age.
Parties & venues
Where do the parties happen in Albania?
The parties on this site are on the southern Albanian Riviera, in two towns about 13 km apart by road. Our venues in Ksamil: Greg Beach, Principotes and Mulino Beach. In Saranda: Lost Seaside and Bougainville Bay Resort & SPA on Rruga Butrinti, plus the Vikingen party boat. Each has its own page with its 2026 nights and the way there.
When do 2027 tickets go on sale?
Not announced yet: as of 21 October 2026 no 2027 party is listed on GetYourTickets in Ksamil or Saranda. For reference, the 2026 dates on this site run from 11 August to 11 September, and several series were billed as weekly, some of them for June, July and August. Already planning the trip? Put your arrival and departure on the Albania 2027 page: the first party listed inside those dates reaches your inbox.
Are there boat parties in Saranda?
In 2026, yes: the party boats on this site were all on the Vikingen, Saranda's party boat, in three formats: the Boat Party Vikingen, Le Classico – French Boat Party on Sundays and a White Party on Fridays. The boat party page has their boarding times and, when sailings are on sale, their dates.
Are there pool parties in Ksamil or Saranda?
On this site there were two in 2026: the Latin Pool Party at Mulino Beach in Ksamil and the Infinity Sunset Pool Party at Bougainville Bay in Saranda, both from early evening to midnight. The pool and sunset parties page has the detail.
Times & the door
What time do the parties start and finish?
Earliest first, as the 2026 listings on this site and their posters had them: the Boat Party Vikingen sailed from 17:30 to 21:00, and Le Classico boarded at 17:30, left at 18:00 and was back at 21:00; the Latin Pool Party ran 18:30 to midnight and the Infinity Sunset Pool Party 19:00 to midnight; the Sunset Edition white party at Lost Seaside 20:00 to midnight, last entry 21:30; the Showcase night from 23:00; the Friday White Party on the Vikingen boarded at 23:00 and returned at 03:30; the French and urban nights at Greg Beach from around midnight to 04:30 or 05:00.
Is there a dress code?
For the white parties, yes: all white. In 2026 the Sunday White Party at Greg Beach and The White Party – Sunset Edition at Lost Seaside both asked guests to dress in white, and the Friday White Party on the Vikingen carried the same name. The other 2026 listings on this site set no dress code.
What is the minimum age?
18 to be served alcohol: the World Health Organization's data for Albania gives 18 as the minimum age for serving beer, wine and spirits in bars and venues. Carry a passport or ID card on every night out.
Tickets & alerts
How do I buy tickets?
Online, on GetYourTickets, where these parties are sold. Every party page on this site links to its official ticket page. Each ticket is valid for one date: confirm it in your basket before paying. When a date is on sale, its current price is shown on the party page here and on the ticket page.
Do I pay in euros or lek?
Tickets: euros. Every 2026 listing was priced in euros and paid online, and the one door charge a listing mentioned (late entry at Lost Seaside) was quoted in euros too. Albania's own currency is the lek, issued by the Bank of Albania.
How do I get alerts for 2027?
Two ways. The travel-dates form on the Albania 2027 planner matches every new listing to your stay in Ksamil and Saranda, by email and, if you add your number, on WhatsApp. Or leave your email in a Notify box, such as the one on the boat party page, to hear about one kind of night.
Staying & getting around
Saranda or Ksamil: where should I stay?
Pick the town closest to the parties you want. Ksamil keeps Greg Beach, Principotes and Mulino Beach nearby: Mulino to Greg Beach is about 2 km on foot. Saranda keeps the boat departures and the Rruga Butrinti venues nearby: Bougainville Bay is about a 17-minute walk from the 2026 boat-party boarding point. The other town is around 20 minutes away by car. The guide Saranda or Ksamil? compares the two.
How do I travel between Saranda and Ksamil at night?
It's about 13 km by road, around 20 minutes by car. A local bus runs between Saranda and Butrint by way of Ksamil: check the time of the last departure before you head out. For the ride back after a late party, plan a taxi and settle the price with the driver first. In 2026 the Latin Pool Party listing also gave a transfer departure point.
How do I get to Saranda and Ksamil?
Two routes work well. Fly to Corfu and cross to Saranda by sea: Ionian Seaways lists 30 to 45 minutes by hydrofoil and 55 to 70 minutes by ferry. Or fly to Tirana and drive about 245 km south. Albania is outside the Schengen area, so carry the travel document your nationality requires for the border.
