It had two row of columns in the interior and arcs along the length of its sides. They said that there were 40 churches in its environs one for each Sebastian martyr. A Greek community is still there but smaller. Greek schools are still operating as well as Greek churches.

Their harbor is unlike most harbors. In the open bay, where the city is located, they have built on one side a breakwater and this is the quay of the harbor. It is there that all the official buildings are located since Saranda is a port of entry to Albania. Most of the boats there are small ships that ply the Saranda-Corfu route.
