Saranda Shopping
Shopping in Saranda, from farm wine and olive oil to bakeries and souvenirs
Shopping around Saranda covers a family winery's town shop, the municipal produce market, handmade gift and souvenir shops and bakeries in Saranda and Ksamil.
Shopping in Saranda leans on food and local produce. In the town centre, the municipal market on Rruga Jonianet is where growers from the surrounding villages sell their own fruit and vegetables, and the town shop of a family winery and farm on the road inland towards the Blue Eye sells its own wine and raki, fruit liqueurs, jarred farm products and an extra virgin olive oil pressed and bottled on the Gjirokastër road.
For gifts, a small shop sells handmade creams, balms, soaps and candles alongside spoon sweets, raki-based liqueurs, wild herbs and local wine, and the Saranda outlet of a Shkodër souvenir supplier stocks magnets, T-shirts, traditional hats, silver jewellery and pieces cut from Trepça stone, and personalises items to order.
Bakeries and patisseries in Saranda and Ksamil cover the rest, from baklava, kadaif and celebration cakes to bread rolls, gjevrek rings and kifle baked each day.
