Theth is a remote rural town within the mountains.
You can find two videos on the link below how tourists (mainly through a Germany travel company) go and visit this location. It is based on sustainable tourism and the remote location has actually helped to preserve the nature intact.
The videos are only in Albanian, sorry.

"My worries evaporated as soon as our boat sped into a magnificent bay.
The town of Saranda sweeps in a grand arc around one of the great
natural harbours of the Ionian Sea. No doubt the Communist regime of
Enver Hoxha once pumped a good deal of sludge into these blue waters,
but one side-effect of Albania's abrupt de-industrialisation in the
early 1990s is a lack of pollution."

An interesting article in the San Francisco Chronicle:
"Pulling down the statues of Albania's real-life Dr. Evil, Enver Hoxha, was easy. Deleting his name from the mountain above town wasn't.
The despotic crackpot who ruled this odd little country for four
decades had his first name burned into the mountainside above Berati
with acid, in letters 50 feet high. They're going to be there a long
time."

Tour Description: At 8:00 o’clock in the morning we start our tour in direction to Corovoda. The drive from Berat through the scenic Osumi valley takes a bit more than one hour, and just a little later we ride along the amazing Canyon of Osumi. During the trip you will discover the traces of the legend of “Gropa e nuses” and “Kemba e nuses”. Then we head back to Corovoda for a tasty lunch. For a convenient digestion we will make an easy, rather impressive walk to “Mali i Care” and visit the spectacular entrance of the Pirogosh-cave. We will be back to Berat during the afternoon.

Going up
If you visit Tirana one of the must-see places is Dajti. Few
years ago it was not that popular because it was relatively far from Tirana but
now with the cable car, the trips last about 14 minutes and the 2-way ticket is
500 lek($5+). Dajti is becoming a fairly popular place.

Saranda
|
The ancient ruins of Butrint are located about 11 miles south of Saranda and are of special interest if you are into interesting insights into ancient world ruins. Virgil claimed that the Trojans settled Butrint, but no evidence of this has yet been found, and the site has been pored over by archaeologists trying to prove it. Treasure hunters from Italy lifted many of the antiquities before the war, but most have since been returned and are on display at the National Museum of History in Tirana. Greeks settled Butrint during the 6th century BC, although the area had been settled long before by the Illyrians.
