    thank you very much for the video! most people talk as if it were impossible to travel around Albania without a car, but you made it seem much easier.

      Not impossible at all! I met many people along the way who traveled without a car. The buses run smoothly most of the time but just be prepared to wait. There are usually no schedules, instead the buses leave once they're full :)

    Hello I'm Brazilian. And I'm planning to visit Albania next summer. As a solo traveler, did you feel safe? I'm going alone too. Your video helped me a lot, very happy that I found this video full of tips. You are the best!!!!!!

      I felt very safe as a solo female traveler in Albania, even when walking back to my accommodation at dark 😊 Yey, I'm happy hear that, thank you!

    Thanks for recommending the bank. How about currency exchange booths on street? When you pay accommodations, do they prefer € or Lek?

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  ปีที่แล้ว

      The currency exchange boots typically have bad exchange rates and often also charge other fees on top of that, so that's why I usually prefer just withdrawing money from the ATM. I always paid for my accommodation in Lek but sometimes they did ask if I wanted to pay in euros, I think it depends on the place. :)

    What is the minimal cost of taxi fare from point A to point B. About 10 minutes or so. Thanks!

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I only used a taxi to get from Tirana airport to the bus station when I headed to Berat. That was around 10-15 minutes and cost about 20 euros so quite expensive. Otherwise I just used buses :)

    Thank you for the description. You'd be welcomed again. Please, bring some Finnish metal bands next time (obviously kidding, but that would have been nice). Your tone of voice is uniquely pleasant.

    Thanks for the video, Milla!! From which card did you withdraw money in the Credins bank? I have wise and Revolut and I'd like to know if I could withdraw money from this cards. Thanks a lot!

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi! I have Finnish debit and credit cards, both worked! I also talked to other travelers and most used Credins to withdraw cash without any problems :)

    What’s the differences between Berat & Gjirokaster? They seem quite similar? Trying to map out an itinerary and there’s too much choice😜 and all so far apart 🥺

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  ปีที่แล้ว

      Albania has so many beautiful places sp I understand the struggle 😅
      Both are beautiful towns and quite similar with a small town feel. Gjirokaster is (in my experience) a bit more crowded and touristy than Berat but if you don't go in high season, it's not super crowded anyway. I couldn't choose one so that's why I visited both but honestly I likes them both just as much. Sorry, this answer was probably not very helpful 😂

    Thanks for this video and informations. What is the best month to visit Albania? Stay in hotel or Ab&b? recommendation?

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching! ☺️ I think visiting in shoulder season is the best, so April/May and September. Summers can be crowded and during off-season (winter months) many places may be closed. For accommodation I like to use Booking.com 😊

    When you go back to Albania, check out Vlorë - it was awesome. Zvernec Monastery (it's on an island in a lagoon) is worth seeing there, and there's a nice walk back down the coast and through pine forests to the city.
    I'm definitely going to try and visit some of the other towns I've seen on your videos (like Berat) when I go back.
    Side note about the Burek - Albania's sometimes seems to be a little different to alot of the other Balkan versions (like the triangular spinach ones you often see there).
    You did a good job of explaining that the "buses" are not what people expect 😅 I've lost count how many times I've seen people on Facebook travel groups stressing about them because they can't plan and buy tickets etc

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  ปีที่แล้ว

      I've heard mixed reviews about Vlore but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! The monastery looks very cool, I'll have to add it to my Google Maps for my next trip. Berat is definitrly worth visiting, many travelers I met thought it was their favorite but obviously that depends on your overall experience as well. Maya Hostel in Berat is great! 😊
      Interesting point about the burek! I don't recall I've tried it in other countries but I'm sure there are some differences.
      The buses in Albania is an interesting topic but honestly I didn't find them challenging to use haha. I guess you have to have the right mindset when you go to Albania and just be ready for things to work differently. 😆
      Thanks for watching and thanks for your thoughtful comment! 😊

      You should tittle the cities' names.. it was hard for me to catch on some of them.
