Guide
The guide in full
This guide follows the party nights on this site, in two towns about 13 km apart. Saranda has the seafront, the Corfu ferry, the Vikingen party boat and our venues on the Butrint road; Ksamil, further south, has the rest of our venues, by the sea. In 2026 there was at least one party on every day of the week. These seven short guides cover where to sleep, how to arrive, how to get back late and when each kind of party starts.
Saranda at night
Saranda is the town with the seafront promenade, Shëtitorja Naim Frashëri, and the port for the Corfu ferry. Our venues on land are on Rruga Butrinti, the road that leads south towards Ksamil and Butrint: Lost Seaside and Bougainville Bay Resort & SPA, three minutes apart on foot. In 2026 the Boat Party Vikingen and Le Classico boarded on the promenade itself.
Ksamil at night
Ksamil is the beach village south of Saranda, about 13 km away by road, with small islets just offshore. Its three venues on this site in 2026: Greg Beach, with the Sunday White Party and three French and urban nights; Principotes, with The Wolf of Wall Street on Saturdays; and Mulino Beach, on the northern side, home of the Latin Pool Party.
Saranda or Ksamil?
Choose by the parties you're coming for. A base in Ksamil keeps Greg Beach, Principotes and Mulino Beach nearby; Mulino to Greg Beach is about 2 km on foot. A base in Saranda keeps the boat departures and the Butrint-road venues nearby; Bougainville Bay is about a 17-minute walk from the 2026 boat-party boarding point. Either way, the other town is around 20 minutes by car.
Getting here: Corfu & flights
Fly into Corfu and cross by sea: Ionian Seaways lists daily summer sailings to Saranda, 30 to 45 minutes by hydrofoil and 55 to 70 by ferry. Or fly into Tirana and travel about 245 km south by road. Greece runs an hour ahead of Albania, and each timetable is printed in its own local time, so check both before you book a connection.
Getting around at night
A local bus runs between Saranda and Butrint by way of Ksamil; check the last departure before you head out. For the ride back from 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.
Seven nights, seven parties
In 2026 each day of the week had at least one party on this site. Monday and Friday: the Latin Pool Party at Mulino Beach. Tuesday: Marrakech at Greg Beach or the Sunset Edition white party at Lost Seaside. Wednesday: La Parisienne at Greg Beach or the Showcase night, American Gangster. Thursday: the Infinity Sunset Pool Party at Bougainville Bay. Friday also had the White Party on the Vikingen and LA FRENCH at Greg Beach. Saturday: The Wolf of Wall Street at Principotes or the Boat Party Vikingen. Sunday: the White Party at Greg Beach or Le Classico at sea. The line-up changed from week to week.
Party hours & dress codes
As the 2026 listings on this site and their posters had it: evening boats from 17:30, back at 21:00; pool parties from 18:30 or 19:00 to midnight; the Sunset Edition white party from 20:00 to midnight; the Friday white party at sea boarding at 23:00; the French and urban nights at Greg Beach from around midnight to 04:30 or 05:00. The two white parties on land on this site asked guests to dress in white.
Tickets
All ticket links here lead to the party's official page on GetYourTickets, and the events page lists every date on sale, with its price.
Start with your dates
Two dates are all it takes: the day you land in Corfu or Tirana and the day you fly home. We hold them until a Ksamil or Saranda party falls between the two, then email you its venue, day and ticket link.
Frequently asked questions
