Location — Durrës, Ilia Plazh

Durrës is not only a summer resort. It is Albania’s largest port city and, after Tirana, the country’s second most populous town: a working city all year round, where the sea is part of everyday life.

The city is close to three thousand years old. It was founded around 627 BC by settlers from Corinth and Corfu under the name Epidamnos, and in Roman times it was one end of the Via Egnatia, the road that crossed the Balkans; the amphitheatre built under Emperor Hadrian still stands in the city centre.

The coastline has long sandy beaches and a Mediterranean climate.

Getting there: Tirana lies about 33 kilometres to the east and Tirana International Airport about 30–35 kilometres away.

Who this property suits

Those looking for a holiday home or a permanent home by the sea. The apartment is renovated and ready to move into.

Those coming alone or as a couple. The one-bedroom layout is comfortable for two.

Those thinking of letting it. If you plan to let it, it is worth clarifying the local rules and the building’s house rules in advance. We do not promise a return: that always depends on the year, the season and how the property is managed.

What to know about buying property in Albania

In Albania, the transfer of ownership of real estate is made by notarial deed and must be registered in the Register of Immovable Properties. According to the official guidance of the Albanian Investment Development Agency (AIDA), foreign nationals cannot acquire ownership of agricultural land, forests, meadows or pastures, which can only be leased for up to 99 years, and the purchase of building land by foreigners is tied to investment conditions. The official guidance does not deal separately with the purchase of apartments, so the legal position of the specific property is always checked by a local lawyer before purchase.

In Albania the ownership status of a property is not always clear, so it is wise to have a local lawyer review the contract before signing and to use a legal interpreter at the meetings. We accompany the process from the first enquiry to completion, together with the local partner office.
