Most visitors reach Himara in one of two ways:

Fly into Tirana International Airport and continue by rental car or pre-booked transfer on the SH8 coastal route. This is the simplest one-country option for an Albania road trip.
Fly into Corfu, transfer to the port, cross to Saranda by ferry, then continue north by car, taxi, or regional bus. This is useful if you are already routing through Greece, but it adds border-control and ferry timing risk.

Either way, Himara works best as part of a flexible coastal itinerary rather than a single-transfer resort arrival.

A rental car gives the most freedom for dive gear, beaches, and castles. Himara town, Porto Palermo, Jale, Llamani, and Qeparo are easy to chain by road, but summer parking gets tight.
