From TIA to the Coast
Landing at Tirana International Airport (TIA) is your portal to the Mediterranean. As we move into 2026, infrastructure improvements have drastically reduced travel times, but choosing between bus, taxi, or a private VIP transfer remains the most critical decision for your arrival experience.
