Tale beach
Tale sits on the Adriatic in Lezhë County. It is a local beach, not the string of villages people mean by the Riviera. That is the reason to choose it: the sea is close, and the south-coast drive is not required.
Tale Apartment is in a newer complex a short walk from the water. The public map pin is approximate. The entrance comes from the booking platform after you reserve.
Lezhë and Shëngjin
Lezhë is the nearby city. Shëngjin is the beach town people use when they want a longer promenade. Both are a short drive from the apartment.
We do not publish driving minutes. Roads and season change the clock, and those times were not measured for the listing.
Getting there
The usual airport is Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza at Rinas, northwest of Tirana, about 11 km from that city. Tale is further, on the coast.
This guide does not quote an airport-to-Tale time. Arrange a transfer or a car for the coast road, then use the house page for the beach, the parking and the rules.

How to get to the apartment
The apartment is in the Tale beach area, a short walk from the sea. This drawing is the turn off the highway onto the Plazhi Tale road. It marks that area, not a building door. The entrance comes from the booking platform after you reserve. From Rinas the driving route is about 42 km and about 45–50 minutes, on A1 and then SH1, before the left turn toward the coast. Approximate, for orientation.
Key
- Car rental
- Beach
By taxi
Taxis wait at the airport. Ask for the Tale beach area, on the coast. The drive is about 42 km and about 45–50 minutes.
If the car has no meter, agree the fare before you ride.
By rental car
Car rental desks are in the arrivals hall at Rinas. There are also rental offices in central Tirana, if you are already in the city.
Take A1 north from the airport, then SH1. Turn left onto the Plazhi Tale road toward the coast. The map marks the area. It is not a door.
By bus or furgon
There is no published airport bus that ends at the apartment. A usual way is a taxi from the airport, or the airport bus into Tirana and then a furgon toward the northern coast, then a short taxi to Tale. Check the day’s departures.
