📍 Geographic Location of Aliko/Lukovë, Sarandë
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The prefix +355 892 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the southern Albanian region encompassing the municipalities of Aliko and Lukovë, both within the wider Sarandë District. This area forms part of the Albanian Riviera along the Ionian Sea coast, near the Greek border. The code is administered under the national numbering plan of the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (AKEP) and is allocated for fixed-line PSTN services within this specific geographic zone.
Primary Cities and Local Significance
The code serves the town of Aliko and the coastal village of Lukovë, along with surrounding rural settlements. Aliko is an administrative center, while Lukovë is known for its beaches and proximity to the Butrint National Park. The prefix is essential for local businesses, public administration offices, and residents in these areas. It does not cover the main urban center of Sarandë, which uses a different NDC.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For international callers, the number must be dialed in full E.164 format: +355 892 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber number). For example, a local number might be +355 892 123 456. When calling from within Albania, the international prefix is replaced with the trunk prefix 0, so the national format becomes 0 892 XXX XXX. For instance, a domestic caller would dial 0 892 123 456. Local calls within the same NDC area may be placed using only the subscriber number, but this practice is becoming less common as digit uniformity is encouraged. No overlay codes are currently active in this region, so 7-digit dialing (after the NDC) is standard.
Technical and Regulatory Notes
As a geographic code, the tariff for calling +355 892 is typically higher than mobile rates but lower than premium services. The code is exclusively for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in Albania begin with different prefixes (e.g., 68, 69). Number portability applies, so a fixed line may retain the 892 prefix even if the service provider changes, but the geographic tie remains. When dialing from abroad, always omit the leading '0' of the national trunk prefix. Ensure you have the correct country code (+355) and the full NDC without any additional access codes.
