About Ferries from Durrës
Durrës, about 40 minutes by road from Tirana, is Albania’s main port and its link across the Adriatic to Italy. Adria Ferries and GNV both sail to Bari all year, mostly overnight: board in the evening and arrive the next morning, with extra daytime sailings added in high summer. GNV gives the crossing as nine to eleven hours, depending on the ship and the sea, and Adria Ferries also sails to Ancona and Trieste. Cabins make the night pass comfortably; book one early for July and August.
