Forget what you think you know about riding in the Balkans. Today we are in Sarandë, Albania, for a ride defined by stunning scenery, perfect Mediterranean weather, and surprisingly gorgeous, safe roads. From the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea to the rugged coastal climbs, this is world-class road cycling in a region that is still flying under the radar.
Rolling out of Sarandë, the route hugs the coastline, offering constant views of the sea and the nearby island of Corfu. The roads here are exceptionally well-maintained, providing a safe and fast experience for road cyclists. Whether you’re climbing away from the coast or descending toward the hidden beaches of Ksamil, the landscape is absolutely breathtaking.
