Hi guys! I need to apologize for calling Albania "cheap" - it's a negative word and I didn't think about relative wealth. It's not ok for me to call 20 Euro a day "cheap" when for some people it's a daily wage. I'm sorry!
please dont apologise.I hate people who try to be politically correct.We albanians know it that when you say it cheap it means by your own standards and for us is expensive but we do not get offended. We are just grateful that you visited our country and we really pray that you had a good and safe time.That is all.
Yea, for us we found Albania very "affordable" but the quality of the food and the customer service was our of this world! Byreks were always good options for a snack on the go. We loved Dajti Express. Its dropped to 800 Lek a person now.
I think you're misinforming here: lots of people in Albania use old lek and new lek. So if that guy said nuts were 1400 lek, he meant it in old lek for sure, which is just over a 1 euro only. They are lovely people who will go out of their way to help you.
7:20 A lot of Albanians still tend to refer to old Leke when trading especially in markets, but what they actually mean is New Leke, which has have been Revalued and has had a 0 dropped. Which means most likely he/she wasn't trying to charge you €11.50 but €1:15. I guess this causes a lot of confusion for tourists. Anyway Great Footage, Thanks for sharing.
Meatballs in Albania (And Kosovo) are called Qofte or Kërnacka and they come like sausages-shape. There are round Qofte/Kërnacka obviously but you have to specify.
Thank you for not contributing to Tourism Inflation ( paying high prices just cause you're on holiday ). It makes prices tougher on the locals to live.
Albania, one which I and everyone want to feel the atmosphere, ... spending all days and nights with all the uniqueness of the nation and the friendliness
Hey Jemima, This is Peter also a travel TH-camr from Taiwan, and I am currently travelling at Albania. 🇦🇱 Is Albania really a cheap country? If you understand here people only earn 5€ per day, then you shouldn't use the word cheap here. The reason why you feel cheap is because you are from a development country. 😒 Please revise your tilted for this word. Many thanks, Peter
You're completely right Peter, and thanks for the comment. This is something I didnt think about when I was there, but have recently realised that I was wrong to call it cheap. I've definitely changed my language since. I hope you're enjoying Albania, isn't it amazing!
@@JourneyWithJemima Well im albanian and you are right that the food is cheap there but you kinda said that Albania is cheap so thats why some got offended but its alright :)
So joke,is not true people only earn 5 euro in albania,Medium salray is 400 euro in Albania,but in albania salary dosent make much sense to know the really income of albanias,80% of albanias earn extra money after salary, for ex my albanian wife is a nurse,her salrary is around 400 euro a month,but she get daily 20-30 euro tips from sick peoples who give to her like tips for her service...also me i work in call center in albania and i get around 800-900 euro a month. Living in Albania is great,your wallet will be always happy!
Guess you like to sleep at hostel for fun..cuz medium single room hotel price in Tirana is almost the same like hostel. Next time if u visit Tirana i recomand air bb, you can enjoy whole nice cozy apartament for 20-25 euro
Albania uses old lek and new lek (Old lek was used since Albania got their currency and new lek got implemented after the end of the communist regime but people stick to old lek if they are talking informaly, new lek if formaly) Old lek: 1400L (L is a symbol for lek) = 1 Euro New Lek: 1400L = 10 Euros 1 Euro = 140L That farmers market you went is a bit overpricy but Albanians afford it and the quality money ratio is pretty good!
Albania is not cheap its a beautiful place and has some incredible history but certainly not cheap, i went to buy the galaxy s20 here it cost 189.000 lek = £1,377.Pound, in England that same phone is £900, see the difference and i could go on and on.
Albania is to much crowded city tirana or less crowded I want less crowded city to visit n which person we can meet for my paper work n visa if you know some one pls send me whatssup no thanking you
@@myassessmentadres1349 She was probably misinformed because there are both new lek and old lek. If that guy said 1400 lek then he probably meant old lek which is just 1 euro. Albania is even cheaper than what is shown here, she says she is getting coffe left and right for 1.5 euros but normal price for coffe is 0.5 euro.
2:46 WRONG! This massive underground anti-atomic bunker was prepared for the high hierarchy of the Communist leadership & Army officials during the 1970-80s in case Albania would be attacked by the US & NATO. *the military did knew where the bunker was. Thanks for visiting my country. :)
You called bankers things which were made for rich families. There werent rich people in Albania during communism. The most "rich" people were the miners. It was preety much an equal society. Everyone had a normal life, i could say better in quality than now. There was no crime, no Poverty (i am speaking about actual poverty, there was no actual hunger, while there are about 1 million people in albania right now living with less than 5 euros per day) no drugs, no prostituion. And all this without having to do imperialism to the whole world like you people do from the west.

No, nuts and pistachio are expensive. It's 1400 a kg or even more. At that specific market is the most expensive in all Tirana.

Try to explore Bali .... I am here and welcome
This year the cable car is even around 14€
The nuts would have cost 1.2€, but is very confusing because ppl there use old lek and new lek. 1400 lek is old one which would probably be 1.20. €.
You look grate ...pretty and awesome!!!!!
Hope u enjoyed, Albanians love u 🌹. Hope u visit us again 🍻
Amazing!
I love you

Albania uses old lek and new lek (Old lek was used since Albania got their currency and new lek got implemented after the end of the communist regime but people stick to old lek if they are talking informaly, new lek if formaly)
Old lek: 1400L (L is a symbol for lek) = 1 Euro
New Lek: 1400L = 10 Euros
1 Euro = 140L
That farmers market you went is a bit overpricy but Albanians afford it and the quality money ratio is pretty good!
Yeah I think it's misunderstanding ☺

Greetings from Morocco❤️❤️
I have tickets for a week in Albania in September. I would like to know how is the covid-19 situation there. Can anyone tell me?
Very low bro
Best time to get there now not sure it is up to an individual or how you see things say like for example how scare are you of the COVID
@@Leo-gd6jh I'm a little scared. I have a 3 years-old girl. But when I see the beaches the scary goes away. lol
@@cemaciel scared about what ?
@@Leo-gd6jh Of not being able to return to the Netherlands if the borders close, for example.
Waitttt,youuuuuuuu???????from America vs Australia?????
Welcome to our beautiful Albania next time if you go to Albania go to city name BERATI it's beautiful and is muzeume city

Every comunist comming outside ALBANIA first time visite Hoxha piramide. Creazy

Come on girl food is so inexpensive in Albania and you’re still complaining about it? Don’t be cheap!
15 dollars on food is alot of money for 1 person. People live a week on this amount of money

15 dollars on food is nothing wdym can’t complain
she spoke constantly of how cheap it was haha

Meatballs are sausage-shaped in Albania, LOL.

I earn 400$ a month in albania. 20$ a day would be to much for me and for 90% of albainans.
🥰🍓😍
Halal food in Albania.
Xd :D
How sad that people base their favorite countries off of how cheap it is rather than idk, its culture or the people who inhabit it. !?
Yeah is yunmy when u come from europe to kosovo but is delisous money when u work on kosovo for 250€month🤣🤣
.....Travelers say it's real cheap there......
Albania is not "cheap" , just inexpensive
