Then in the coastal city of Vlore, you get on the coastal road which leads from Vlore to Saranda. Dhermi is located alongside the coastal highway.
It is important that I note that driving in Albania as a foreigner can be challenging and daunting. The Albanian drivers do have a chaotic and aggressive driving style. Unfortunately, quite a large number of Albanian drivers do not follow the rules of the road. Of course, you are the only one who can determine whether you have the confidence to drive in Albania.
Is there a train from Tirana to Dhermi?

Unfortunately, the train and rail network in Albania is very limited. The rail network was constructed during the communist period, which ended in 1992.

Therefore, I cannot recommend a train in Albania as an effective manner of getting from A to B. However, if you do want to take an old communist train for the experience and adventure. You could try and take the train from the outskirts of Tirana to Durres.
