The seven hours nobody plans for.
Across thirteen guesthouses and hotels in Saranda, 85% ask you to check out by 11:00 and every one of them by noon. The same 85% will not let you in before 13:00. Ferries to Corfu leave through the afternoon and evening.
So the last day of a holiday turns into a long afternoon spent guarding a suitcase — on a café chair, on the promenade, in the heat. Thirty-two degrees in July and August, with a bag you cannot put down.
The lockers are at the port, on the street outside the terminal. Leave the bag where the ferry is, and take the afternoon back.

Scan the door
They stand on Mitat Hoxha Street, outside the terminal building, and every door carries its own code. Your camera opens a web page — nothing to install, no account to create.
-
Pay by card
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, handled by Stripe. Choose how long you need it for — an hour, an afternoon, a week.
-
Keep the code
Eight digits on the screen. Type them, turn the handle, put the bag in. Come back and use the same code as many times as you want.
It works with no signal
The lock checks the code on the door itself, not over the network. A weak bar of reception at the port does not lock you out.
It works with your phone inside
The code is eight digits you can write down. Nothing about opening the door needs the phone you used to pay.
Galvanised steel doors
Zinc-oxide protected steel with a high-grade paint finish, built for salt air. Each door locks on its own once you close it.
Pick the door that fits the bag.
Every locker is the same inside except for height. A standard cabin bag — 55 × 40 × 20 cm — slides into any of the three if you push it in lengthways, because the lockers are 60 cm deep.
Height × width × depth · in centimetres
Heights are the inside of the door. Fifteen of the twenty-seven are XL, because most people arriving off a ferry are carrying the big one.
On the street, not behind the gate.
The lockers stand on Mitat Hoxha Street, the road that runs along the port. That matters more than it sounds: the passenger terminal is a controlled building and the security officer checks tickets at the door. The lockers are outside it, so you reach them with no ticket and no screening — before you have one, and after you have used it.
It is also the road you are already on. The promenade starts here, and the Ksamil and Butrint bus pulls in a few steps away.

The map is drawn on your device from OpenStreetMap data that ships with the page itself. No map service is contacted unless you open the Google map yourself — otherwise nothing about your visit is reported to anyone.
Seven hours is a day trip, not a wait.
The compass beside each place is the true bearing and the straight-line distance from the locker door. The distance next to it is the one you actually travel, by road.
Corfu is one hour ahead of Albania.
If you are on a return ticket, your departure is printed in the timetable of the port you leave from. Check which clock the time belongs to before you plan the last leg — and allow 30 to 60 minutes for passport control, an hour in summer.
Pay for the afternoon, not the day.
By the hour · priced in euro
Left-luggage in Saranda is sold in whole days. Almost nobody needs a whole day — the gap between checkout and a ferry runs three to seven hours. Here you buy the block you actually use, starting at one hour.

All prices are in euro and charged by card at the door — the amount shown is the amount you pay.
Put the bag down.
The doors are on the port road. Scan one and you are away in under a minute.
Straight answers.
No. Scanning the door opens an ordinary web page. You pay there and the page gives you the code.
Yes. The code stays live for the whole rental, so you can come back for a jumper or a passport and lock it again. The eight digits are the code you are issued — if you would rather have something shorter to remember, you can set a four-digit one of your own and use that instead.
The door opens on the code, not on the phone. Write the eight digits down and you never need the handset again.
No. Payment is by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, processed by Stripe. There is no cash slot on the lockers.
Every door is 50 cm wide and 60 cm deep. Heights are 45, 60 and 90 cm. A 55 × 40 × 20 cm cabin bag fits in all three if you push it in end-on.
No. The lockers are on Mitat Hoxha Street, outside the terminal building. Entry to the terminal itself is controlled by the port security officer, who checks tickets — the lockers are on the public side of that door, so anyone can walk up to them.
Yes. The lockers stand on the street and nothing shuts them for the night — no gate, no closing time. Your code opens the door at three in the morning exactly as it does at midday.
Message the WhatsApp number in the footer — fastest if you are standing at the locker — or email lockerhubsaranda@gmail.com. Someone on site opens the door once you have shown who you are and what is inside.
There are twenty-seven doors and no reservation system — you take one that is free when you arrive. If you are travelling on a peak August afternoon, message ahead and we will tell you what is standing empty.
