Guma Bar Restaurant, Saranda
The meeting point for the trip that runs the most spectacular coves of the Albanian Riviera.
The Guma Bar is not a club and does not pretend to be. It is a bar and restaurant on Saranda harbour, and it is where the El Mar Boat Tour leaves from every morning, the trip that runs the most spectacular coves of the Albanian Riviera. If you want a day at sea rather than a night out, this is where it starts.

The day is a full one: Turtle Bay, Anchor Bay, Soldier Bay, Gremina Beach, the turquoise Kakome Bay, and more than two hours at Kroreza Beach, one of the finest in the country. These are places you cannot reach by road, which is exactly why the trip exists.
Departure is at 10:30, on most days through the season, with more than eighty dates across the summer. Prices start at €40, which is one of the best ratios in the destination once you count the length of the trip and the number of stops.
It also slots in best with everything else. You leave in the morning, you are back in late afternoon, and the evening stays free: a pool party at Bougainville, then a club in Ksamil. A lot of groups build their standard day around exactly that.
