== Directions == The site of Butrint is accessible from [[Sarandë]], along a road first built in 1959 for a visit by the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] leader [[Nikita Khrushchev]]. This road was upgraded during the summer of 2010. The construction was somewhat of an environmental disaster and may yet threaten Butrint's World Heritage Site status. The ancient city is becoming a popular tourist destination, attracting day-trippers from the nearby Greek holiday island of Corfu. Hydrofoils (30 minutes) and ferries (90 minutes) run daily between the New Port in [[Corfu (city)|Corfu]] Town and Saranda. Many visitors from Corfu use chartered coach services to visit Butrint from Sarandë, and additionally, a regular public bus service runs between Sarandë port and Butrint. Others arrive from the Qafe Bote border crossing with Greece near [[Konispol]] and cross the Vivari Channel by the cable ferry at Butrint.
