The best point is on the crossing of SH98 and SH99. The crossing is quite spacious with many cars going towards east so catching a ride should go quite smoothly. However, the only problem of this point is the distance from the city centre. It is around 3km uphill walk from the city centre so it can be good to take a taxi to this point.

Sarandë is a city in Albania. There are quite many tourists coming from island Corfu. Therefore, the prices are quite expensive comparing to the other cities in Albania. It is quite difficult to hitchhike out for free due to tourists and its location of city centre.

Hitchhiking out

North towards Himarë, Vlorë, Tirana, East towards Gjirokaster

Walk a couple of kilometers south of the city, until you go in the gas station in Qafë Gjashtë. Walking to the roundabouts where SH99 meets SH8 (towards Himarë), SH98 or SH78 (towards Tirana & Gjirokastra) meet, is a very good idea as these are spacious places, cutting out most of the local traffic. However, it takes some time and effort as these are ~3km uphill, so you might consider taking a taxi there.
