Arriving in Tirana Airport (TIA / Rinas)
Tirana International Airport “Mother Teresa” (TIA) is the country’s main air gateway. Picking up here saves time — 25 minutes puts you in central Tirana or on the highway to Durrës.
Pickup: in-terminal counter or shuttle
Some operators have a desk inside the terminal; others use a free shuttle to a parking lot 200 m away. Both work in practice — pick the one with the better price.
Airport parking fees
The “kiss & fly” zone is free up to 10 minutes for drop-offs. After that it’s about €1.50/hour for short stays.
Tirana–Rinas highway (SH2)
A four-lane motorway, fast but congested after 17:00. The limit is 110 km/h and there are frequent radar checks — don’t treat it like the Autobahn.
Other trips from Berat
To Vlora
Vlora is the largest city in southern Albania and the natural launchpad for the Albanian Riviera. The new bypass that opened in 2025 has dramatically reduced through-traffic in the city centre.
To Llogara Pass
Llogara isn’t just a destination — it’s the road. 1,027 m above the sea, climbing 12 km from Vlora and dropping 12 km to Palasë. 20+ switchbacks, the Corfu coast on the horizon.
To Pogradec
Pogradec sits on the Albanian shore of Lake Ohrid — one of Europe’s oldest lakes. The lake itself and Tushëmisht (a Byzantine monastery) are the headline attractions. The North Macedonia border is just 5 minutes away.
To Dhermi
Dhermi is the Riviera’s gem: blue water, pebble beaches, and a summer-long club scene. The final approach roads are part-gravel — read on for what to drive.
To Himara
Himara is the most beloved town on the Albanian Riviera: a Venetian castle, small pebble beaches, and seafood worth the drive. The approach from Vlora crosses Llogara (1,027 m) — a road that’s a destination in itself.
To Tirana
Tirana is Albania’s arrival hub: 800,000 residents, busy traffic, and a road network that’s being rebuilt fast. Pick a small car for the city and an SUV only if you’re heading into the mountains.
