How Are Beaches in ALBANIA? One Day on the Albanian Riviera

Used to use them GT but airbnb much cheaper with same quality
Man, I've lovin' Dhermi Beach. Looks like a cool place to stay a while.
- Ugh, that water! So blue! 😍
Greetings from ALBANIAAA. I'm happy that people are loving my birthplace.
Albania is still relatively new to tourism, there's a lot to be done to atract more tourist. Transportation and garbage collections are the biggest concern. I hope you had a ok time there .
Well, Albania has 20% increase in tourism each year.. To be honest, tourist's are the one that creates most of the garbage's hence the country is struggling to deal with it because the infrastructure is not build to deal with a surge of people during the summer months.. Town like Dhermi or small cities like Saranda and the surrounding villages do not exceed 100,000 inhabitants and during summer they have 1 million visitors. I wish people are more considerate!
THE PYSCHO GAMERS is not rebirth ( stupid way to translate it) is renaissance!!!!!
Ilir Demaj, wtf rebirth is the exact same as renaissance...
You're right, Vlora airport will start to build in june
tony tourism is rapidly growing in 2017 we hit an all time high of 5.1 mil this number will grow to 10mil by 2028
Albania...looks nice, and unspoilt . . cool vid again Gab . . . looking forward to your Greece / Corfu travels.
I’m from Kosovo and always go here with Friends and family
I am from bosnia and i love albania big love from bosnia we are brothers

Man,Albania seems like your home.
Nice camera Gabriel. One of my personal, favorite places to vacation. Got the chills looking at this video.
Wow.How cool is that.
Gabriel I'm Albanian too.You see that paradise in the hart of Europe.True poor country but the beauty is real here.50 years under the most brutal dictatoors in the world.If you come another time for sure Albania is going to be much diferent.love Albania
Ohboy! What a great beach i hope to be here one day from somalia 👐
I was in Corfu a couple of years ago, and used to look over to the coast of Albania, i hope tourism takes off it looks a great country, just needs a little time to develop, but has huge potential , i have an Albanian friend who moved to Italy, he spoke lovingly about his country, he moved for work.
Omg... greek salad!!! We had that salad ... like forever !!!
Thanks for visiting!
You’re are welcome back in Albania anytime! 🇦🇱🙂
Thanks, appreciate it.
Oh boy! what about me ?
Those beaches look amazing.
Lovely Video - Looks awesome out there surprisingly blue ocean too
12:47 ... the food looks amazing, Greek salad and sea bass, wow !!! Im off to Albania in early November, so looking forward to it. Been enjoying your videos so much.
That's awesome, have a great time in Albania.
very nice video man. people like you are the most welcome people in my country and not only for the money but for this video. these videos are the best commercials for my country because this videos eksplain to the world that albania is a nice plase to visit and not to fear from it. i so your other video with my town berat and i liked thank you once again for these videos my friend keep going like that all the time
Great, thanks, glad to hear it.
Albania, beautiful nature, but still underdeveloped and lot of trash around unfortunately. That above is Cika mountain (2050m), it is on my list to climb when I go to Albania one day, hopefully not too far away.
Aleksandar Gospić how do u know if u havent been here?
Denis, I explored for my future trip to Albania :)
Skanderbeg, I know that of course and I really don't mind the infrastructure, I just wish there wasn't so much trash thrown around
YOU ARE AN IGNORANT DUDE. ALBANIA HAS LIKE 10 TIMES MORE TOURISTS THAN MONTENEGRO AND WILL ARRIVE IN CROATIA LEVELS FOR 3 YEARS.
Thanks for all the garbage you send here every winter, I bet it is all tourists fault ;)

Aleksandar Gospić really? This is what they tell you in croatia? Do you seriously believe that those came from albanian coast? Have u ever seen the map?
Nice Albania
Thank you for visiting my country. I am proud of the beauties in my country! I live outside Albania but always looking back to visit it as much as I can! Hopefully you enjoyed yout staying there...
I just got back from Albania - absolutely loved it!!! Shot my first ever TH-cam video there too. Maybe you'd like to check it out? th-cam.com/video/WiT99k8e-sc/w-d-xo.html
Such a great adventure 👏
Albania ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
saranda ❤️❤️❤️
it's fine and well, in Albania you need very good investors and capitals in tourism and the all problems get solved, people are very friendly and joyable
I work in tourism and Albania is one of the most underrated countries though it's beaches and climate are no worse than that of Montenegro or Croatia.
Such a beatuful seaside, beaches, weather but too much litter, rubbish everywhere. Not organised well. No signs in english for tourists. Im very disapointed. I expected environment to be clean from rubish at least. So sorry. Hope it will change soon.
Albania is the beautiful place in Balkan. Dhermi called the name of the beach where was made this video. ... Amazing beaches, traditional delicious foods ,wonderful nature and a lot of hospitality 🇦🇱👍👍👍
As an Albanian, you don't quite realize how much a foreigner has to struggle when he gets in your country! These type of unbiased videos are so realistic and eyes opening. Poor infrastructure, not even the bare minimum, road signs....Dirt and garbage everywhere. Gabriel's video on Shkodra was self explainatory, he suffered to get even to the main attraction of the city, shkodra castle!
Same in here....if a foreigner has no local contacts, it is sooo tough to know how to get in the nice beaches. Forget public transport, of course....
Thanks Gabriel for your series of videos in Albania, I really enjoyed them, even though they made me a bit sad.
Good luck on your travels.
Thank you sir!
Albania looks alright to me not as bad as you are describing it !! I've never been there but I would love to visit it one day!!
For that reason is a thing called Google Maps which makes life much easier in Albania or any other place for that matter.
Ty bravo te qofte qe nxjerr problemet e vendit tend ne pazar, qe tu behet qejfi grekut dhe serbit. Shkruaj ne shqip te pakten qe te mos kuptojne gje te huajt. Kujton ti se Grabrieli nuk i ka pare ato qe the? I ka pare, por tregon vetem gjerat e mira kurse ti si shqiptar flet vetem per gjerat e keqija, a thua se ska shtet ne bote me probleme. Turp qe edhe te huajt e duan vendin tone me shume!
Erald M are you on drugs? Infrastructure along the coast is relatively new. The road was comfortable. The beach even though popular does not have paved walkways or shinny buildings since the government is looking for a 5 star hotel at the site from private investors. Many of the hotels Gabriel was staying are clandestine and will be out of business when the government finds investor. To my point of view Gabriel was unprepared for the journey even though he is a seasoned traveler. He got scammed by the taxi driver who charged him $40 in VLORA . Gabriel relies heavily on google for his travel preparations. He had a chance to talk to locals in Berat, or SHkoder or Lushnja and they know and would have given him advice. I agree with you about the filth , especially filth in Shkodra was beyond belief . They have a lazy women mayor over there which according to me should be hanged at the main square.
I was there for camping with a few friends and it was amazing . I have to lift my things in my back through the rocky path , but this is adventure and you have to chalange your self . It was amazing . Some people need infrastructure , but that will ruin the nature . You have to try Gjipe ! I have maked a hiking through there and a camping to .
Hey Gabriel. Absolutely love your travel vlogs. I really enjoy the POV and spontaneity you bring to your videos. Have you traveled to the capital Tirana? I haven't been there since the late 90's.
Awesome, thanks. I didn't go to Tirana, I just stopped through on the bus on the way to Berat. Wasn't really feeling like the big city.
I love how Gabriel is spending his life. We've got to get him 100k subscribers!
I visited Albania from Corfu in 1994. Things were dire then but your footage shows a country on the up. And that coastline, wow, the last remaining unspoilt coastline on the Med.
Yeah there are definitely some great spots, I saw a lot of beautiful beaches from the bus going south as well. But as you'll see in my next video it's not all uncrowded like this, the next place I went was insanely packed. I'm sure it's changed a heck of a lot since '94.
Oh, I just popped over to Saranda from Corfu for one day. The memories that stick in my head are the kids that came to greet me and the empty shops. Folk were friendly enough but it was obvious that people had very little left after the troubles. Luckily, I took over some pens and small toys for the kids, I was tipped off in Corfu that it would be nice to take something for them, I'm glad I did :-) Saranda was rough at the time, buildings were falling apart and the roads were awful. But saying that, the harbour area was nice and I remember a small beach which was clean. I'd like to go back sometime, Saranda looks lovely now compared to what it was and I imagine there's plenty of touristy stuff now as I believe the ferry still comes across daily. I lived in Corfu at the time and looked out across to Albania every day, I'd to visit my old home as well, two reasons to return to my youth and make that trip!
Chaat Man wow in 1994 Albania was like caribbeans. Beautiful beaches but full of "pirates" :)
Those children were gypsies btw.
You can find them nowdays also.
Chaat Man you right there my friend ,1994 albania was just three years after collapse of communism,imagine north korea 🙈🙈 but if you visit saranda now days its totally changed you want be able to recognise the city posh bars hotels restaurants i think its very expensive but i must say if anyone wants to get all the benefits avoid 15 July to 30 august
Beautiful water 💦 would love swimming 🏊♀️ there. Cheap food and hotel wow. Nice secluded beach 🏝
Yeah that was a nice spot.
Thank you for this amazing views Gabriel.
It's not lava. ^^ Floor wasn't lava! XD
It is from diferrent material.The softer ones get washed out by the waves and weather.
Food..food..exelent.people of my country with big heart.
A blessed good day sir Gabriel Wowwww what nice very stunning beautiful place Crystal blue ptistine water of dhermi beach and albania quielt place and unique rock formations awesome! Thank u so much sir Gabriel for your nice exceleet walk around tour Godbless u from your solid fan viewer from the philippines sir vhin 🙏🙏👍👍🙂🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏🙂👍🌹🌹❤️❤️
The water is so beatiful!!! Proud albanian!
Hi Gabriel looking your videos I got a big surprise you didn't go to see the 2500 years old castle in Berat and what I notice you mentioned too many times a grek salad and something else the Albanian don't care too much about religion because they are more older than both of them.
Respect albania from rusia !
robert c respect bro.
Is good to see non Albanophobe in Russia 🇦🇱👐🇦🇱
Ваш зовут Роберто и ты Русский. Почему у тебя есть Испанский зовут?
Hey man I’m Albanian but I’m only a kid but when ever I go to Albania I go to this beach called saranta not shure how u spell it tho but it’s beautiful
Iv started to like Greek salads now... Though I haven't tasted... 😋 yumm ❤❤❤
I hope you enjoyed Albania :)
Definitely.
As you can see Albanians are very friendly like they know you years like a friend
I was waiting for this video (I think you also have one for Ksamil coming up)! I plan on staying a few days on the Albanian riviera (I'll be there from Sunday to a Thursday so I think there might be less people ). The beaches look amazing! *I will bring my swimming shoes hehe! Thank you for the amazing video!!!
DrawingEllipse Ksamil is beautiful where are you coming from ?
Just finished the video about Ksamil, will post it soon.
What do you do with your backpack when you swim?
Just keep an eye on it. When it isn't a crowded beach I'm not that worried about it. If it's a crowded beach then I take extra precautions like try to tie it to something like a beach umbrella so it can't be grabbed easily, or else bury my important things in the sand and then put my towel over it.
Hey dude heading Albania next week - do I need to book accommodation in advance or is it possible to get it on the day (want to keep plans fluid) ?? Thanks nice video !
You can book accommodation online the day before or even the same day, no need to book everything in advance. I like to keep it fluid as well.
Gabriel Traveler great stuff thanks!
So yea went a month ago was amazing and yea just booked stuff as I went along . Amazing place!
I was there last month. Didn't need to book anything in advance at all. Shot my first every TH-cam video while i was there too - th-cam.com/video/WiT99k8e-sc/w-d-xo.html
My mom is Albanian but from kosovo but she never been too Albanian only kosovo; looks good thank you for the video
Inspiring as always man.
I'm from Albania and I live in Tirana. Thank you for visiting my country.😘😍😃
Such a beautiful beach
Gabriel, I bet when you get to Corfu you're going to forget to have some Greek salad . x)
13:06 mmmmmm that looks really good
That beach looks pretty good, but I am not into pebble beaches. Need golden sand.
golden beach is from durres albania to the north albania all beaches is golden sand and the south is white sand and ston sand
How about these beaches? th-cam.com/video/WiT99k8e-sc/w-d-xo.html
Nice translation at resorts as always! You can do Bodyweight training while traveling and eat more protein diet to gain muscles mass💪 you are tall and nice hair but look little skinny.
Great video bro but korfuz is albania island not greek island
Men I envy you, I'm Albanian from Kosovo and never been to Albania :(
jiask toni whatttttt? A je normal more dick head?? Hypi more makines e shko
@@kosovaisalbania3720 haha
Watch out while climbing those rocks or we're gonna see a "How expensive are Albanian hospitals" video.. :/
Always careful! But you can't let a little danger scare you away, otherwise I wouldn't do any of this stuff.
Vladimir Spasojevic mabe for you russians greeks and serbs it is expensive but for the rest of europe it is free.why you have to be so negative against albania man why is so difficult for you to write a nice comment for this country
Please explain to me in what way was I negative? Please, I would really love to know.
Please explain to me why are Albanian hospitals only expensive to "us" Russians, Greeks and Serbs, but are free for the rest of Europe.
While you post disgusting nationalistic comment to a simple joke regarding rock climbing, I am the one being "negative"?
Vladimir Spasojevic because from serbs greeks and russians i heard to say kill the albanians i never heard this shit from italians germans or any other peoples this is not for you personally. have you ever visit albania i belive is the only way to have a opinion about a country
Vladimir Spasojević I dont know from which Country your from mate, but Greeks and Serbian mostly hate Albania and talk shit about Albanians that's why we don't like but always talking for the majority as long as someone is nice to me I'll be nice too without caring where from.
Have you ever visited Luciano's Hotel?
I guess not, haven't heard of it.
Looks beautiful, You should have a waterproof sack you can shove everything in and just swim around the rocks. Frogman style. :) Looks like a great place, thanks for the video.
I just got back from the Albanina Riviera. Shot my first ever TH-cam video there. Maybe you'd be interested in checking it out? th-cam.com/video/WiT99k8e-sc/w-d-xo.html
I am from Albania
I was also in Dhermi at this time, what a coincidence
greetings from kosovo
Kosova is Albania also.
What do you do for a living? I wanna travel like you but I have no clue on where to find the money
Here's a video in which I talk about that: th-cam.com/video/h18kwQDdK64/w-d-xo.html
Great photography and editing you’re a real pro
Thanks.
ai em from albania
You’re Albania guessing is very good lol
Gabriel, how do you protect your wallet and phone etc. when you go swimming if you don't have a car to lock them in?
Depends on the beach but generally I just keep an eye on it when I'm in the water. If it's an especially busy beach and somewhere with a higher chance of crime then what you can do is put your valuables in the sand underneath your towel, then leave your bag next to your towel with nothing too valuable in it, basically as a decoy. If someone takes it then at least you don't lose your cash, ID, etc. And ideally go to the beach with as few valuables as necessary.
I'm Albanian
Its_mikela x and
ALBANIA THE BEST CONTRY ILLRIYAN CULTURE
Very impressed by you men and so happy to have people like you in Albania. You most welcome and so happy you done this video about Albania. I hope you enjoyed time there.
What are you budgeting on a monthly basis.
Not sure exactly but somewhere around $1,800 per month or so.
THank you Gabriel ! 08:15 at 40°08'07.7"N 19°38'50.9"E
im going to enjoy this place !
dont think you will like Corfu ....very very touristy.....
I stayed at Agios Georgios beach in the south which wasn't very touristy at all. So it was pretty cool, enjoyed it. I'm now in Italy.
oh good....spent many months on Corfu back in the 80,s and was very touristy then but didn't spend much time down south as i was working around the Davos area thought it may have become super commercial now....
bumpy streets, trash everywhere..
upgrade to wine ! what was the 'occasion' ? celebration of leaving Albania may be.
Beaches in Albania are clean
hey Gabriel! love your videos! was the most common outlets over there plug type f??
I hate the fact that Albanians get so upset about a small comment or an opinion... I mean grow up. And I know really good that people don't appreciate so much Albania so they can support them racism... you're talking about your country getting bullied from other balkan countries, but you're bullying people with a slaving or russian-serbian like last names... and stop saying over and over that it would be better if communism and civil war didn't exist, if you believe that, why don't you help your country grow. Stop complying about the others saying that the country has to many rubbish... I have seen Albania in the winter... why don't you clean up in winter? Why don't you make rules about littering and star recycling? And I am pretty sure that it's not only tourist who litter... a 70% of garbage is from the owners of the country... and about hospital treatment that I read before... dude, I got poisoned and the doctors didn't realised it in time so I nearly died... and drugs from the drugstores there are not good enough for you to getting better... in fact everything is wrong there... I am glad that I am adult and I am not forced by my mum to go there any more...
One last thing... stop compering your country with others... fix your issues and then talk... only Valbona is close to what standards tourists are interested in and I am not even from the north
Cuni Lagjes you seem to talk before thinking... I am not trying to be rude or something and sorry if what I said makes you feel bad... but if Albanians meaning me and my parents too, were smart and had enough education they wouldn't been stuck in the what balkans have to say about the country... I am mostly concerned about the racism albanians show to the people... why don't them just let it go...? If they do this I am pretty sure everything will get better... and if you're still waiting for government to change mind, oh my God wake up and try to fix the problems by yourself.
Respect to you man you have visited my country and you liked it
Now is nothing like that all changed but for the better 😁
Its easy north is bad south is great in the aspect of beaches
You must be so healthy
stunning water but please get better footwear. you are asking for a sliced foot on those sharpe rocks!!
is that durres?
No, it's Dhermi.
lol they serve the sea bass with the head still on it
oh man hahah you understand albanian so good i was very surprised you Said everything right haha
Excellent.
Btw that’s still the Adriatic :)
I thought Jesus walked, on water.
I am albanian and in summer 2019 i am going to the beach with my family
Have a great time.
Beautiful beaches and water..thank you..
:-)
Assalamualaikum to albanian people
1:40 S-class coupe under a tree, diabolical
Hi gabe,how did you travel from montenegro to albania?im planning the same trip and trying to find out the best travel options,thanks and keep up the good work.
I went by bus from Ulcinj, Montenegro to Shkoder, Albania.
Thanks for the reply 👍
Looks like Mexico.
about how much have you spent a month since you been in europe ?
Not sure exactly since I don't keep track, but on average about $1,800 a month or so. Just a general guess.
Nice video gabriel . I sugest you to go to the other side of dhermi there are a lot of private and beautiful beaches there . Have a nice vacation
I didn't realize there was another side somewhere. Next time.
Gabriel Traveler When will be the next time?
