Travel guide to Dhërmi and the Albanian Riviera

Why we write these

Most of what is written online about transport on the Albanian Riviera is either out of date or optimistic. Bus timetables change between seasons, journey times depend on the month, and a map will tell you two villages are close without mentioning the headland between them.

These articles are written from driving the road, and we update them when things change. Where we do not know something for certain, we say so rather than filling the gap with a plausible number.
