Over Sasaj Beach
Sasaj is one of the Albanian Riviera's last genuinely undeveloped beaches, on the far-south Piqeras stretch between Borsh and the Lukova coves. Green hills drop to a quiet bay with clear water and, on most days, more space than people. There are no beach clubs to speak of and facilities are sparse — that lack of development is exactly the appeal, but it means you come prepared.
Watercondities
Clear and calm, with a pebble entry
Hoe kom je er
Off the SH8 coastal highway between Borsh and Lukova; an access road leads down toward the shore. A car is strongly recommended — the Saranda–Himara–Vlora buses run the SH8 above but drop you on the highway, not at the beach.
Voorzieningen
Minimal — among the least-developed beaches on the coast. Don't count on sunbeds, bars or reliable amenities; bring your own water, food, shade and water shoes.
