Virtual tours in Sarandë: two hotels, 112 stations and not one popup between them

Sarandë holds two of our published tours: Fenix Apart-Hotel at 72 stations and Hotel Nertili at 40. Between them that is 112 360° photographs, 658 navigation arrows collapsing to 252 distinct connections, and 23 guest rooms and apartments shown by their own number. Neither carries a single information popup, which is the right decision for a building sold by room number. Both are open in a browser right now, with no form in front of them.

Everything we have published in Sarandë, counted out of the delivered files

Our own numbers, read out of the tour files. An overlay is anything clickable in a panorama; a navigation arrow is the subset that moves you; a distinct connection is a place you can reach, counted once however many arrows point at it — which is why 658 arrows are 252 connections.

Both are live: Fenix Apart-Hotel is the largest tour we have published, and Hotel Nertili is the one that starts on the parking road outside rather than at the front desk. Each project page carries the full station list and a direct link to the tour.

Both of these buildings are sold by room number

That is the single fact that shaped both builds. Nertili's station list is not a list of spaces, it is a price list: 111 and 213 standard with sea view, 206, 303 and 507 deluxe with side sea view, 312 junior suite, 401 superior suite. Fenix names sixteen apartments — 202, 204, 205, 301, 302, 305, 306, 401, 402, 403, 405, 406, 501, 502, 503, 504 — and puts each one in the tour rather than photographing one and calling it representative. A guest offered 403 stands in 403.

What capturing in this town is actually like

  • Every room Nertili shows is sold on the sea, by name. All seven carry it in the label: two standard with sea view, three deluxe with side sea view, a junior suite and a superior suite. A room sold on its view is a room where the window is many stops brighter than the wall opposite it, and that is the recurring exposure problem on this coast.
  • Working buildings stay working. Most spaces stay open while we shoot, which means capture is sequenced around occupancy and housekeeping rather than the other way round. A hotel that has been emptied for the camera also photographs as a hotel that has been emptied — no towels, no covers, nothing on the terrace.
  • Sixteen apartments on four floors is sixteen doors. They have to be open in an agreed order, and the order is somebody at the front desk giving up part of their day. That coordination, not the photography, is what makes a 72-station building a different kind of job from a 40-station one.
  • The approach counts as part of the building. Nertili's tour takes in the parking road, the parking entrance, the restaurant, the gym, the bar and the beachfront. Guests arriving at a seafront hotel have already formed an opinion before reception, and a tour that starts at the desk skips it.

Travel to Sarandë, stated exactly as we publish it

Sarandë is nowhere near the 25 km radius around our Tirana base inside which travel is not charged. So travel goes on the quote at cost, with no markup, itemised and agreed in writing before anything is booked. Accommodation is billed at cost with receipts on any job needing more than one day on site. Both appear in the quote and neither ever appears for the first time on an invoice.

We do not publish a per-kilometre figure and we are not going to invent one, because *at cost* is the actual policy and a rate card entry would contradict it. What we will say plainly is the shape of it: a four-station job is a day trip, and a seventy-two-station building plainly is not. The full terms are on the pricing page alongside the capture rate, which is identical here to anywhere else — €40 for each of the first ten 360° photographs, €30 for each one after, €160 minimum.

What we have not shot in Sarandë

Two hotels is a hospitality archive, not a town. We have no restaurant, no shop, no apartment for sale, no museum and no public building published in Sarandë. If you are in one of those and you want to see comparable work, the nearest evidence is in other cities: Vlorë carries apartments, a hostel, a restaurant and a shop, and Tirana carries a university building and two branches of a bakery. We would rather point you at real work in the wrong city than imply work in this one that does not exist.

Questions people ask

Do you charge extra to travel to Sarandë?
Travel within 25 km of our Tirana base is not charged. Sarandë is well beyond that, so travel is billed at cost with no markup, itemised and agreed in writing before anything is booked, and accommodation is billed at cost with receipts on jobs needing more than one day on site. Both are in your quote before you commit. The capture rate itself is the same as anywhere: €40 for each of the first ten 360° photographs and €30 for each one after.
How many stations does a hotel in Sarandë need?
Two real answers from delivered work: 40 stations for a seafront hotel showing seven room types plus the restaurant, gym, bar and beachfront, and 72 for an apart-hotel showing sixteen apartments across four floors. The driver is the number of distinct room types and the circulation between them, not the floor area.
Can I look at the tours before contacting you?
Yes, and there is no form. Both Sarandë tours are public and linked directly from their project pages at vronos.com/projects, along with their full station lists and their counted overlay and connection figures.
Do you shoot hotels in season, while guests are staying?
Yes. Most spaces stay open while we work and we shoot around occupancy rather than closing the building. What it needs is a sequence agreed with the front desk in advance, because rooms have to be free and unlocked in an order — that coordination is a larger part of a big hotel job than the photography is.
Is there aerial footage of these hotels?
No. Neither Sarandë tour has aerial. Across our published archive aerial has been flown on exactly one project, in Budva, and it is conventional aerial stills and video at €15 per photograph. There is no 360° drone in the studio, so there is no station in the sky and we will not imply there is one.
