A Drive Through Albania's New Llogara Tunnel (August 2024)

[@staalmannen2522]

If you take the bus from Tirana to Himarë, does it drive through the tunnel? Where does it come out of the tunnel, Dhermi? If so, it means you miss the views you get when you drive the fantastic Llogara Pass? Or does the buses still drive the old route?

The route the bus takes from Tirana to Himarë can vary based on several factors, including the bus company and current traffic conditions. Generally, many buses do use the new tunnel, which speeds up travel time and emerges just above the Green Coast, a few kilometers before the villages of Palasë and Gjilekë. However, if you want to experience the stunning views from the Llogara Pass, it's definitely possible to choose a bus or transport option that takes that route instead. I recommend checking with the bus company ahead of time to see which route they’ll be taking. Enjoy your trip!
