There was no information on what time the furgon to Korce left in the morning. So we woke up early in the morning and were by the main road where the buses leave at 6.45 in the morning. Everyone said go across the road when I mentioned Korce, and finally it came, around 7.30. I believe this is the only direct connection to Korce from Gjirokaster. The furgon had a sign with Sarande and Korce on other sides, so it is possible that the furgon leaves Sarande really early. Unfortunately I didn't confirm this with the driver. The furgon arrived in Korce (bus park in centre) at 1.30 PM, and I suppose it returns shortly after. Fare was 1000 lek per head in Feb 2007. Like many others have said, the sceneries were breathtaking!

Gjirokaster is on the main bus route from Tirana to the coast so it is easy to get to by bus/mini bus or taxi and will take about 4 hours from Tirana stopping for food and drink on the way!. The cost of the buses and mini buses are very cheap to Gjirokaster from Tirana with two people travelling for under 10 euro's in 2005.
