- After seeing Gabriel Traveler videos in Albania and having met an albanian friend in my hometown in the United States, I decided to visit this lesser known country in Europe. Here are our first impressions of Tirana, Albania - Europe's funkiest and certainly one of the cheapest capitals in all of Europe.. Great success!

Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 TH-cam videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.
#Albania #EuropeTravel
This Albania series will have some interesting twists and turns.. After that, I'll have some suprise content from some new countries.. Thanks for watching!
what's the name of the restaurant?
Look forward to seeing it… great presentation.

You have some really uneducated opinions in here, you think all of a sudden you know it all about what Albania was, or is. Calling Plis a Muslym hat, what an insult to our tradition and culture. Albania had Plis for thousand of years, well before Christianity and surely before Islam. Its a SECULAR multi-religous largely non practicant country. If you take it upon yourself to talk about Albania at least out of respect try to learn a thing or two, don't spill nonsense that you have heard on Hollywood movies.
Hi mate just so you know from an Albanian we are not Muslim country...
We are Albanians.we don't identify as Muslim country.
Much Love and Respect to our Albanian brothers and sisters from Bulgaria ❤❤❤
I loved Bulgaria so much that I had to see other Balkan countries
@@AdventureElliot Thank you for showing Balkan countries to more people so they can taste the Eastern Europe 🙏❤️
👌❤️👌
Respect
Much love back to the Bulgarians.
We are going to be neighbors because Monkeydonia will split into Albania and Bulgaria.
🤙🏻🤙🏻
I used to work for an international airline, and we had one passenger that was short on funds to cover their ticket. We were holding the reservation for 3 days, and hoped the individual would return before we had to release the booking. A man walks into our office with full payment for a roundtrip ticket, and was there to pay the full fare for a total stranger. He said he was sent to our office to pay for the booking we were holding for a citizen of his country, because his community collected sufficient funds to help a total stranger. He arrived at the office with the person that needed the ticket because we required proper i.d. They are a good people and we did a lot of business with the Albanian community. They're also amazing chefs.
Hi!! I'm one of the italian guys at 16:06! It was a very pleasure meeting you guys. Greetings from Italy!♥️👋🏼
Awesome video bro again, there's a lot of Albanians in the UK, if you don't know them they seem quite serious but they're good guys when you get to know them 🤘
As long as your kind and respectful your always will be welcomed through Albanians
really love this and can't wait to see the entire series. It’s refreshing to see a different side of a place that isn't always on the typical travel radar. Like you, I've found that less popular spots can be really welcoming and friendly in my travels.
thank you brother 🙏 you chose my beautiful country 🇦🇱
Loved this video!
Really enjoyed it!😊
Love this video!!! Saludos Elliot!!!
Thanks Gemi :) nada peligroso jaja
3 doors down playing at the end I like the music taste and the food looks delicious.
Bellissima video bravi.
haha great video love the chemistry between you guys...traveling in 12 days thanks for this video
I heard Albanian people have very beautiful eyes....lots of love from Bangladesh.. ❤️❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic video, such a lovely part of the world.
Pls take some info before, that thing that you tryed in your head is an antic traditional hat called ""Plis" or "Pileaus"and there's nothing to do with muslims at all. The model you tried is from the north of Albania and Kosovo.😊
U right but plis has been used even in south ok
@@FabjonHamitajeveryone used it but because of so called modern times many didn’t use anymore
Thank you for choosing my country to visit and introduce. 💫
Your welcome
New videos soon
Amazin video ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤ good video of Albania and i really want to visit now
This albanian guy reminds me ... when i travel to another country out of albania i always make friends random from the hostels bars etc .good video guys love it
Thanks bro 🫡
I was there in 2018 and to see how much has changed even since then is amazing.
Great video, nice to see this country… thanks.
You'll be seeing more in depth in the next few videos
Thank you guys from a albanian living US🇺🇸♥️🇦🇱
Thank you for bringing us a fragment from our country 🇦🇱🇦🇱👋👋♥️♥️
I am dedicating this series to the Albanian Americana 🇺🇸 🇦🇱
I love Albania the people here are so kind and welcoming. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.
The little goat trying to escape and the little baby already working a full time shift with his mom, so cute 😂❤ albania is on my bucket list for early next year. Met so many travelers and their pictures/impressions were so stunning.
Visited Croatia a couple weeks ago - it blew my mind how pretty it was and how many unconscious bias I had towards the Balkans. 🙈 Heading to Bosnia in a couple of days.
Albania will rise again 🔮
It’s rising already
I don't remember Albania to have ever risen
@@hoti47Albania was big at ancient times ILLIRYA
Nice vlog
Good video! I hope to visit Saranda, Albania soon!
That area is beautiful.. I was nearby
@@AdventureElliot go in saranda bro u will love it that the best part of albania
This video is making me want to visit Albania. 👌
Nice video dude ty for share video for me contry ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was other a month ago ! Albania is not the same the country is developing sooo fast !!Proud of my country!! From Canada .
Albania 😮 best summer destination
Super❤
Food looked delicious
Most underrated food country in Europe and the prices are so affordable! More in the next videos
Great video of your travels! Hope you enjoyed your stay.
The white cap at 6:20 isn't a muslim hat as you asked. It's a traditional Albanian cap woven from wool and made locally, which explains why it's a bit pricier than the generic flag caps (probably from China).
It's incredibly uncomfortable and although I'm sure there's some cultural significance to wearing them, I could never get past the itchiness :)
Love from Albania ❤
Hi mr: Elliot... A biggggg salute from India
Great video 👍
Thanks 🫡
Hey Elliot, I am from Colorado and New Mexico . In Spanish we say "popo" , which means the naval or umbilicus. Thank you for showing the prices at the restaurant and showing us around. That is amazing how cheap it was to fly there from Milan! We are really enjoying this video food and all.
Vale no sabía eso “popo” en español significa “caca” jaja por lo menos en España.. y bueno, many more fun videos to come 😎
I hope you enjoyed
Thank you for displaying our beautiful country. With visitors like you, your friends and Edi Rama (current Prime Minister), our country has a chance to prosper!
You’re gonna love the next videos.. I will show the deep country in the north and the south
I need to visit one day
Great title ❤ I love that you drink your beer with a British tea cup pinky 😂 waaay better than Mark Wiens 🎉
That was a great video to watch mate. Really fun.
Hey mate thanks for the watch.. the next videos are even more adventurous .. also I can’t wait to get to the UK
@@AdventureElliot wicked :)
The hat they did put you its called "Plis" or "Qeleshe" and its a National traditional costume hat. Nothing to do with religion.
just correcting you.
Thanks for the clarification
Welcome to Albania ♥️
You should go to Pogradec Albania, you won't regret it!
It’s not gonna be affordable for long, if y’all keep flocking to Albania. It’s insane the massive tourism it has experienced.
great video there American brother! you are describing it exactly as it is. the vibe. that's right.
but that is maybe 5% of what's to be seen in Albania...
great respect for USA!
9.28 in this place was a Disco
Was called Disco Albania and was very famous in the years 2000-2005 now is what it is .
Must visit
What’s the song around 50 seconds into the video?
Haha I love how you always sneak in a Borat impression for good measure
Nice to hear from you man 😎
@@AdventureElliot i also liked the Mark Weins impression haha he’s always pulling that face. Nice entertaining video man, and yeah I got banned from Instagram unfortunately. Trying to get my account back
Your a legend salukie with balls of steel. Enjoying a nice pliff for u here in San Diego CA
@@nelsonluke6007 thank you brother appreciate you
Finally we saw an Amerikan a German and an Albanian together we have a lot of story here in albania with this trio by the way
I'm doing a euro bike tour from scotland and Albania is on my list, Tirana and Vlorë then south to Greece
The roads aren’t the greatest but the country is beautiful
Take a small trip to Skodra , Lezha (ancient lisus yllirian town ) and Patok lagoon and Durres (battle between civil Rome war Caesar and ponpeii
Be careful in Greece if you pay something grece are thief’s 🐀 they poor in debts and want 30€ for one cafe 😂
❤❤❤
the birds, saw the guys who possibly share ethnic heritage with those in Albania these were in Guyana South America they actually have singing contests with them and train them from babies some are worth many thousands of dollars
Thanks for the answer 👌
That’s not a bunker that’s used to be a night club called disco Albania
9:33 kam 26 vite qe jetoj ne Tirane, me ne fund e mora vesh ca ka brenda tek ajo vrima hahahaha
Would love to see Albania, maybe even move there...
Wait until you see the countryside
@@AdventureElliot hurry up ;-) Subscribed and hit the bell already!
hey, nice video the white hat with the double headed eagle is called qeleshe and its not muslim, its a thousand years tradition clothing, the history of it is amazing
So funny video, and albania looks amazing vibe🇦🇱 no where in the world you find this type of vibe
Albanian religion is KANUN 😮 many things to learn but small and nice world ! I think Albania Deserved to have 10mil tourist in 2023 maybe in 2024
There could be even 15-20mil this nation is very “incognito “ and offers many many history , ancient art. Modern era , Kindom time , communism , war , Kanun , sea , lake , Roman war , yllrian war , peace and love , example Albanian king scanderbeg has an secret alliance with NAPOLI king Ferndinand called “order of the dragons “ with symbol of dragon since yllrian and since even Roman and other Mediterranean culture! Albania it’s a secret place probably 😮😮
Albania is beautiful, the name of the video is strange not Albania .
Albania is beautiful. But if nobody clicks they won’t find out that’ it’s beautiful
That makes sense, click bait. If I didn’t see this title I wouldn’t watch the video . Great video, Cheers mate 🍻
@@AdventureElliotClick bait in a nutshell
@@djzrobzombie2813 clickbait is when you make a title that isn’t related to
What the video delivers

That is tarator not tzatziki is not the same difrend flavor
When was this? I see everyone wearing jackets. Is it still cold in Tirana in May?
This was at the end of March/ beginning of April
@@AdventureElliot oh! I’m going there this May so I started wondering whether I need to pack my jackets. Thanks
@@londyc maybe a light jacket for the mountains in the north which had snow still in April. Otherwise you should have warm weather on the coast and in Tirana
@@AdventureElliot thanks for the advice. I appreciate 👍
May is 22-27 *C , usually is sun
Shqipria ❤
Hey Amigos , good video.. Just for your info . The white round hat does not symbolises Islam at all. That is an Albanian old tradition hat
Thanks :)
Correct. That’s an ancient Illyrian hat used by ancient Illyrians 🇦🇱🤗
Ma che centra islam con il capelo o espaniol il capelo esiste primq e un tradizione albanese dell secolo 13 dicesimo con tutto rispeto per te prima di palare impara la storia di albania donika kastroti e sepelita in spagnia impara la storia islam solo a distrutto albania non ha portato niente di buono
The white hat is called Plis or Pileus and its origin since ancient times and Albanians have a day that celebrate the Hat, called Plis Day in Kosovo, N. Macedonia and Albania, no connection to the Islam religion.
Great video!
Love Albania 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Me too
15:47 I been to Thailand and I was a spy there🥶
😂kgb or cia ?
27:54 pasta for two fourty.. mate.. it says antipasto. it means appetizer sir :) welcome to europe
The white hat is not a muslim hat. That is the Albanian plis.
You changed your mind,,,,,,wow,,,what you were thinking,,,,or,, Same as the rest of your category🎉🎉🎉🎉
During the Yugoslavia war boat lads of cigarettes would travel in huge amounts to Bari in Italy which were flown in giant aircraft from the US. Here in the UK at the time our streets were flooded with not just a lot of black market tobacco but also heroin(same happened just after 9/11) and the Albanians became the leading importers of heroin at the time. They had close relationships with the Turkish here already who were among the biggest importers of drugs at the time. There are still many Albanians here who are heavily into heroin and coke importation. At the time the Albanians worked very closely with the Mafia from that part of Italy.
You’re right.. unfortunately a lot of Albanians are into the illicit trade and trafficking because of geography and past history. I think the root of it all it communism and poverty.. we will explore that topic in the next few videos.
@@AdventureElliot I would be very careful in that one.
Wow we got a very professional detective here 😂
@@Gerico9008 Just read books looked at what was happening and unfortunately was involved in that world with Turkish friends who were heavily involved.
Remind us again what the British did around the globe? Let’s start by invasion and some other things not allowed to say on TH-cam 😉
Yugoslavia the less talked about it the better. Yugoslav leaders oppressed the nonSerb population until it broke up ! Talking about what they did it would take a full day to mention them .Your genetic brothers , Serbs aka Caucasians
my brother thank for visiting Albanian and Respect for you but the white Hat called "plis"is not a muslim hat.is our national traditional Albanian hat and comes from ancient time is more than 3000 years old .it used to be our ancestors daily dress like is today polo hat
Disneyland?
France and UK fit the description 😉
Beautiful country. Albania seems to be a better place to live in if you are not Albanian. If I'm not wrong...
Well many Albanians move abroad and work and then return home because they realize how good the lifestyle is there.. nowadays .. it wasn’t always that way
@@AdventureElliot
Just like every country around the world does . Find me a country without diaspora?!
@user-irj1nxa3cof2z
North Korea and Albania?
@@germanCrowbar
Niet , turkoserbian
@@AdventureElliotyeah, same will be in my case. If you have money Albania is wonderful. It is safe, the weather is great, and the food is excellent. What else does one need? Hard to find these things together in one country.
🇦🇱🇦🇱👍👍👍
06:16 man that's not a muslim hat.. that's traditional albanian from the old times hat it's called plis/qeleshe (2000 BC) . And Albania is not a muslim country but secular country.
The white it's cold Plis or Qeleshe & doesn't have nothing to do with religion Muslim or Christian! It's an Old ancient Albanian
Very funny video if you are a 6 year old, didn't make me cringe at all. Reminded me of that perv Johnny fd, please stay in Spain and make content there! Helps me with my Spanish!
Johnny FD doesn’t have fun in his videos just complains.. I have fun when I travel. You must be like Johnny FD because you are complaining 🤣
Those poor birds have been captured from the wild.so distressing.
6:15 it's not a muslim hat, it's an Albanian traditional hat! :)
While you've borrowed Davidsbeenhere's personality, the video's good fun
Very few visit this country???
10 millions last year it doesn’t look a few to me…
Very few in comparison to Western Europe and the rest of the Mediterranean
@@AdventureElliotare you sure? Compared to the number of inhabitants, which is only 2.8 million, does 10 million seem a few to you?
And about the hat, it is not a Muslim hat, but an ancient Illyrian hat. Try to study a little more about a country before visiting.
@@cinesuperpanavision6983 I studied a lot.. did you see my list of Albanian words? What foreigner will do that? This is how you study, by traveling and learning. Thanks for your feedback.
@@cinesuperpanavision6983agreed, this guy is spreading misinformation calling the Albanian hat qeleshe as Muslim hat, even though Homer wore the hat before religion was a thing.
That’s Illyrian hat not Muslim hat . Ancient Europeans used that hat aka Illyrians . Thus Albanianns aren’t define by religions since we liberated Europe from the ottomans at a time
NON of Western Europeans dared to come to our aid instead hid like petrified bunnies on the bushes , we gained west 25 years of time to prepare against any foreign invasion.. We Albanians did so much for Europe, kinda of what Ukraine is doing today but with western help unlike us that didn’t receive any.We did so much for Europe something Europe hasn’t done to Albania . Cheers , native Albanian 🤗

Uiiiiii😂
Did they get drunk?😂

Best country in the world. The greatest people! Respect to you, Elliot!
So why do so many albanians live outside albania if it is the best country?
@@germanCrowbar
Why do Germans (around 50 million) live US if their country is the best?
@@germanCrowbar Because countries without great people and horrible mentality have good economy and jobs.
@@royaleksandar Your arrogance once again shows your true mentality.
@@germanCrowbar
Woof woof woof 🐶
Welcome to Ancient Illyria, the land of eagles 🦅, defenders of Southern Eastern Europe AKA ALBANIA 🇦🇱. Wish you a pleasant stay brother 😊
Note:Albania isn’t Muslim country, Albania itself is older than Christianity and islam . Islam is part of Albania just because we were invaded by the ottomans and Western Europeans went hiding like bunnies and left us alone. Regardless we still standing.
Fun fact: Mother Teresa was Albanian 🇦🇱
You’re gonna love the following videos bro!! Long live Albania! 🇦🇱
Majority of albanians are muslims, 60% in Albania, 95% in Kosovo and 99% in albanian part of Macedonia. How much they PRACTICE is another thing.
@@flo2677
TurkoSerbian , Albania is older than religions itself and if we were we would have been waging wars with the ottomans against united Europe like Serbians did on the battle of Nicopolis.
visit my country The Philippines
apartments in tirana are more expensive then paris and same as new york
That's crazy
@@AdventureElliot yam talking about t he apartments you showed in ur video and the ones that are getting build at the center cost alot of money very expensive that is money laundering from italian and albanian mafia since they close together also at TEG Tirana east GATE is the richest hood houses here cost half a mill to millions alot of americans russians and many albanian rich people live here from alleged mafia bosses to politicians very nice area and TEG is one of the shopping centers in balkans you have villas here shoping center resturants castels caves everything i can give you info if you like to visit rich or poor hood in al or getto prices everything
Kush të ka thon o rrot kari, që bojn shpiat njisoj sa në New York ose Paris? Po mafia italiane ku pidhin e robve tuj paska ndërtu, që e dike vetëm ti? Po kto rusët e pasur ku pidhin e grus tate paskan ble shpia ke TEG ?
Attention with (k)car😂😂😂😂
🤣
Why you pay in euros don't they have there on money?
They just do that for tourists but yes we used their money ..
Albania currency is roughly equal to euro
It’s not muslim or christian country but secular/Laik country
Religions has nothing to do with our traditions
Hi bro everything ok only mistake you did you called that Albanian white cap from ancient times Muslim cap ?info that white cap is about 3000 years old before religion created even homer used it made me sick if someone don’t know history sorry and have nice day long live ILLIRYA 🇦🇱 💪
You`re from USA? Your accent doesnt really seem native
Affordable for the tourists , nearly impossible for the people living here
Plisi the white hat has nothing to do with muslim culture. It's a traditional hat for thousands years.
