Our brand new hostel is located on the second floor of a secure contemporary apartment building; all of the rooms have balconies overlooking the picturesque Ionian Sea.
Located just 50 meters from the port (ferry service to/from Corfu) and quick walk from the central bus station, Backpackers SR, Tomi\'s Hostel is not only close to all the major transportation hubs, but it\'s also a short walk to the promenade which is lined with bars, discos, and restaurants (be sure to try the famous mussels). As you stroll along the promenade, stop to have a coffee or a shot of raki, and live in the moment as the locals do. Last but not least, the main beach is just across the street. Grab some homemade byrek (spinach pie) or a tasty treat from the corner bakery on your way. Soak up the sun, rent a paddle boat, or float the day away in the clear refreshing sea.
Tomi, the proprietor is a native to Saranda and speaks fluent English, Italian, and Greek. He is at your disposal 24/7 and can give you an insider\'s view of Saranda and the history of his homeland. Tomi can recommend cheap traditional restaurants as well as arrange tours, help navigate your next destination, and point out all of the nearby hot spots including: The Blue Eye, The Castle of Lekurs, Butrint, and Ksamil. Want to see the historical treasures of Butrint or the pristine beaches of Ksamil on your own? Walk around the corner and catch the local bus, it leaves every hour (from 7 to 6) and the bus stop is 50 meters from the hostel. Stop in Ksamil on the way back and take a swim or paddle boat ride to the islands.
After a day out on the town, you can return to your room for a hot shower, check your email for free, do some laundry, or take in the stunning view from the balcony. Enjoy making lunch and chatting over dinner with your friends, or fellow international adventurers, in our large kitchen or take your food on to the balcony and enjoy the seaside view with a cold beer. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be found at the Famer\'s market located just a few steps from our door. And, don\'t worry about breakfast, it\'s included! Come see, and savor, the Albanian Riviera and let Tomi\'s Hostel show you why Albanians are known for their warmth and hospitality.
Don\'t forget to reserve your space at Backpackers SR.
Relax, and have a good time at Tomi\'s Hostel! "the Host with the most"
