Sunset cruise on Vlora Bay

Leave the waterfront in the last two hours of light and watch the sun drop behind Sazan Island from the water.

Sunset in Vlora happens over the sea, behind Sazan Island, and the bay faces it directly. A short evening cruise — typically ninety minutes to two hours — takes you far enough from the shore to see the whole arc of the city lights come on behind you.

Evening sea breezes can be stronger than the morning calm, so the ride is often livelier than a midday trip. The live camera shows you both the light and the sea state in the hour before departure.

If you would rather stay on land, the Lungomare pier and the promenade benches face the same show for free.
