Overview of Albania's +355 578 Geographic Prefix
The +355 578 prefix is a geographic numbering resource allocated within the Albanian National Numbering Plan, specifically serving the Synej and Golem areas of the Kavajë municipality. These localities are situated along the central-western coast of Albania, approximately 20 kilometers southwest of the capital, Tirana, and are part of the broader Tirana–Durrës economic corridor. The prefix is administered by the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (AKEP) and is assigned to fixed-line operators providing PSTN services in this region.
Dialing Formats and Usage
When calling a subscriber in Synej or Golem from within Albania, you must dial the national significant number, which includes the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code '578' and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. For example, if the local number is 12345, the national dialing format is 0578 12345. From abroad, you must omit the leading '0' and dial the country code, area code, and local number: +355 578 12345. The total number length, excluding the trunk prefix, is 8 digits (3-digit area code + 5-digit subscriber number), conforming to ITU-T E.164 recommendations.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Context
The 578 area code covers the administrative units of Synej and Golem, both part of the Kavajë Municipality in the Tirana County. Synej is a small agricultural and residential area, while Golem is a popular coastal destination known for its beaches and tourist infrastructure. The numbering area is distinct from the adjacent Durrës (52) and Tirana (4) codes, though all are interconnected through the national PSTN. There are no overlay codes currently in effect for this region, meaning that the 578 code is the sole geographic identifier for fixed-line services in these localities.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the same area code, short-dialing (without the area code) may be possible depending on the operator's configuration, but it is recommended to always use the full national format to avoid misdialing. For international callers, ensure you have the correct country code (+355) and replace the leading '0' of the area code. Calls to this geographic prefix are typically charged at standard fixed-line rates, which may vary depending on the caller's operator and tariff plan. As with all fixed-line numbers, the subscriber's location is fixed, and the number is not portable to other geographic areas, though number portability within the same region is possible.
