@@chuckytehboy6168 same with Romania,i cant wait to visit Albania next month,i will drive my camper in the hope of finding few campsites as well,cant wait!!
Our Albanian son-in-law guided us through Tirana where he grew up and Permet where his mother grew up. We're hoping to return. It was unlike any other place we've traveled.
I recently had the chance to visit Tirana and was blown away by the city. From the friendly locals to the delicious food, there was so much to love about Tirana. The city has a rich history and stunning architecture, and there are so many interesting sights to see, including the Skanderbeg Square and the Et'hem Bey Mosque. Overall, I would highly recommend Tirana as a must-visit destination.
We had the most wonderful time in Albania. We hired a personal driver for my wife and I and saw almost the whole country. Everything from the cities to country communities. Albania has such a rich diversified culture and the people are amazing. The food is superb and the views are spectacular.. we are already trying to plan to go back. If anybody is planning on going and you would like to do what we did then I can send you some info about our driver. He was a wonderful addition to our trip and became friends almost immediately. We did nit run into any place that took US dollars but we had plenty of leis and euros. And forget credit cards, almost non existent.
Oh! You should go to Ksamil, Sarandë! It’s one of the best and cleanest country’s/beaches in the world! You should definitely go there, and the food in the restaurants there is AMAZING! I love a full plate of shrimp pasta, and it’s very cheap! (Ex: Large plate of shrimp pasta: 5$ US dollars) Every August when I go to Albania I always go to Ksamil! Another thing! The hotels are so luxurious and very affordable! There are coffee bars everywhere and even gambling bars! And a recommendation: GET FRIED CORN! It’s soooooo good, even if it is a hot day and the corn is hot, it just suits the beach style and it’s very delicious!!!! ANDDDD another thing I like about the beach is that there’s like 2 floors, the first one is where the beach is with the seats, and the 2nd is where the restaurants are, so every time you book a seat (3$ US DOLLARS FOR A WEEK) they give you this phone where you can call the nearest restaurant and order what you would like, then your seats always have numbers so you can tell them where you are, when the food arrives it’s hot (or cold if you ordered something that’s usually cold). And the best thing I like about going to Ksamil is that a night walk is the best! It’s full of people and there’s boats everywhere with colorful lights around them, for you to take a sea tour! There’s people selling stuff to kids, from colorful light balloons (that don’t pop) to things you launch in the sky and always come back! The restaurants at night are so pretty and very good to enjoy dinner!
I only saw 1 place in Albania because I entered on the 1 st day ever of covid lockdown. Haven’t been able to go back since. From what I saw, Albania is stunning and I’d love to see more!
It’s absolutely one of the most beautiful countries. Besides, it has a terrain that accommodates all types of tourists. Whether you are a mountain lover or a beach hugger, you will find a place to visit. Not to mention the people and the food. Absolutely a must visit 🥰🥰
Id recommend you to convert them to Albanian Lek because like every country, there are some people who will scam you because USD is bigger then albanian Lek
Going on a Europe trip at the end of my grad and I never heard anyone mention travelling to Albania before, what a beautiful country! I am so excited to visit!
Can you help me... I want ask only one thing...I am from India....if I am getting jobs there means... How they pay the salary ??? Albanian lek??? Or Euro???? Which currency is for salary???? Kindly reply me...
Meera Lakshmi, sorry for the late reply. If you move to Tirana and have a decent job and engineering industry you may not end up too bad. Life here is very affordable.
@@johnnyallkja4734 no its not . Turists may find it cheap but is not for us . And you dont have to lie about this . Not denying that if u are and architect or ing or have your own bussiness you are okay to live here . But i do not recomend at all.
@Bill Smegma Not sure if you have ever been to Albania, or what part of Albania you are reffering to. But in south Albania you have great beaches and in Northern Albania you will find great mountains. Just See Thethi and Valbona.
My wife is Albanian. I spent two months there. The beaches, the mountains, the food, carrying lek, the friendly people is all mostly true as detailed in this video. It truly is breath taking to swim in the shark free sea and look at the mountains at the same time! Restaurant service is often absolutely dreadful by American standards and most restaurants do not have AC. If you use public transportation be ready for extremely cramped conditions that will most likely not have AC as well. Be choosy about where you stay both for location and price as prices for just about everything can be all over the board depending where you are. Albanians generally are friendly to visitors which is great. Beware of scam's as some will try to charge Americans more than the regular price for thing's. Gym's often do not have AC on believe it or not and driving is a free for all. I actually enjoyed driving in the Albanian craziness in places where there were no traffic lights because everything kept moving. Some people will hate this however. I enjoyed Vlore and Tirana. I did not like Himare though the sea is absolutely gorgeous there. If you have family there be prepared for apartments and homes without AC. I had a large fan with me every family visit. My Albanian family members bought big fans for each of their homes to ease my suffering. A sweet and loving people! I am very blessed to have them!
I'm sorry, you're out of luck! You have been to some places where there is no AC. It is strange, in Albania even the barracks in the most rural areas have AC
You actually described many many countries. Even in Australia many apartments and homes don't have AC. And if they do it's usually never central AC but after market wall units instead. It surprised me as I lived in various countries how uncommon AC can be, after living in the U.S.. But, you can always find AC if you look for it wherever you go.
Never heard anyone so obsessed about AC!!! Don't travel in Asia or Africa you will never survive. Limit your travel in Australia to posh hotels and avoid the UK altogether.
I was in Albania a year after the fall of communism in the early 1990s. It was primitive, rustic, and beautiful. My most profound memory was having no hot showers for three weeks in Tirana due to constant power outages. But we always had wonderful fresh water. Recent videos show how far the country has come. Amazing place. Thank you.
I was abandoned by my ex Albanian during my pregnancy. It was his decision and choice so i cannot do anything about it. Someday i gonna visit there with my son. To see and meet his bloodline. I believe all child deserves to meet their granny's. Wish us luck
May Allah bless you and your child. That man is foolish and immoral. Hopefully your child can grow up and be wonderful and loving. Hope for the best ❤💙❤
You forgot to mention something for all people who want to come here. Please do not listen to slavic people when they talk bad for Albania, they don't want us letting the world know how friendly and beautiful Albania is . We still have some uneducated people like every other country but mos of them are lovely
Nobody listens to slavic people, I know becouse I'm from Slovenija, I would like to go to Albania , maybe even live there but like you say ; lots of weird things are told about your country; I'm not young anymore and I lived in Jugoslavija, best wishes for the future
In the part of history, many countries, including Serbia, Turkey, Germany and Italy, wanted to occupy Albania for more than 500 years, failing, but they managed to divide all Albanian lands. Albanians are the direct descendants of one of the first peoples to have lived in the Balkans, the Illyrians.
Great Video! Albania is such a great gem and travelers should be quick to visit because it´s only a matter of time until Albania is the new Croatia. The country used to be a favourite fro travel enthusiats but it is already gaining recognition from more people. Once Albania is more popular the prices will go up and the crowds will become much bigger. Albania is also fairly save, which was something that often concerned visitors. Definitely visit Places like Tirana and Berat as Albania is much more than just a great coastline.
Hi I’m from Albania a lot of tourist will becoming this year so I would say if your are planning to go make sure to book everything soon and I predict this year will have many tourists but regardless is very beautiful
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Travellers in a hostel in Shkodra consistently sais that it was the best country to vsit because of the people , the scenery , the fresh food , the music , ...but to me it a place that you can just be ...many of the films footage is from Shkodra ...a great pace which is often used as a base to explore the mountains or to cross to Mali e Zi ...sitting watching the sun by the side of one of the lagoons is awesome ..love Patok
Thanks for this nice video. It's so well captured and presented. Good to know about all the important factors like what to eat, when to eat, and how to travel around. Thanks for the tip on carrying cash.. Greetings from Oman
Wow what an education you have given me!! Not much into foriegn holidays but I might make Albania an exception!! I'm from the UK and have only ever been abroad to America but this certainly does look great.
Don't try it. Things are difficult in Albania. Prices for rent are expensive. Don't fall victim to the LIARS saying that prices are ok. You will get F**** over for rent in Albania as a foreigner. Target on your back. Beware
Actually a fancy restaurant or hotel would cost around 170Euros breakfast and dinner included depends on what part of albania it is but southern albania is much expensive then the rest
As a albanian the most needed info was the one to carry cash , cause of pyramid schemes that is mentioned in vidio albanians are not really connected with banks 😂
@Nastro Adhesivo Wrong ! Albania is more safe than many EU country center and Albania is not selling drug from 2018 , soon there will be a cannabis legalisation but Albania has never sell weapons , since 1991 Albania was looking to build tourism and is predicted to have 9-10 milion tourist all the 2022 year to visit Albania in 2021 data tells that 6.4 mil foreigners enter Albania so tourism is increasing and the fact is when you will vist
I AM AMERICAN CITIZEN....THE REALTY WITH ME IS ...I LIKE TO RETIRE IN TIRANA..OR RUSSE ...WHAT DO YOU THINK IN GENERAL...I WOULD THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY KIND ADVISE ...THANX A MILLION
Im going to albania in two three weeks,im going to durres vivas hotel,cant wait to see albania,seems great 😍 i wonder does they use euros beside albanian lek,can someone answer,thanks
I am Greek and i feel gratefull for this video. I am happy see how beautifil is Albania . We know about her beautiful people but we dont know much about their country. Surely i will travel to Albania. I think its a paradise wait someone invest at her land. Congrats for your info!
I've been thinking of visiting Albania this year, but I just want to visit two places that have transportation between the two. I still don't know which month I will go. I really am looking for a retirement country, I am coming from USA. Any suggestions? THANX! Lilly
It’s a great place to visit, are you thinking of staying in the cities? Exploring the nature? Or heading to the beach? Beach trips are for the Summer but we love th spring and fall are the best months for cities and nature walks
I’m planning a travel soon, glad to see positive comments on people welcoming and being kind. I’m just curious of people perspective with Hajab head scarf? Is there discrimination in this regard?
Atm charges 6,5 euro for withdraw... Remember to turn off data on mobiles. 1gb cost around 10000 euros in roaming (i am from Poland). Very good and cheap konjak here :) but our beach in Golem is awfull.
Now I am in Albania for the fourth time, and I would love to visit the contry again. But there is something that we foreigners should know: In a number of places, we are not allowed to drop used toilet paper in the toilet. They explain it by saying that the pipes are too narrow. So used toilet paper must be placed in a small container next to the toilet. This does not apply everywhere, but in some places.
l'm a torist in Albania from Azerbaijan🇦🇿☺️ l spent 1 week here and l want to share my experiences about my ongoing vacation✨ Albania is a beautiful country with crystal clear waters and towering mountains as video says. Here’s my experience and a breakdown of the pros and cons of visiting this wonderful place. Pros 1. Stunning Nature: The landscapes are breathtaking, with pristine beaches and majestic mountains. 2. Affordable Prices: The cost of traveling in Albania is low, making it budget-friendly.✨ 3. Delicious Food: The local cuisine is satisfying, especially for someone from Azerbaijan, which is a country of various food culture, Albania offers flavors reminiscent of home.😋 4. Friendly People: The locals are generally welcoming and hospitable.😍 5. Quiet and Relaxing: It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the serene environment. Cons 1. Stray Dogs: We came across aggressive stray dogs, which was a frightening experience. There were 11 of them, and they came out of the dark suddenly, like a horror movie. They started to jump and show their scary teeth. l haven't seen tags on their ears, so l freaked out... It’s advisable to be cautious, especially at night. l stopped a random car and jumped in to save my life🤦🏻♀️ 2. Transportation: Public transport can be unreliable, and some tourist spots are not accessible by bus such as "Blue eye".(taxi id over 50-60€ from Sarande) Renting a car is highly recommended to explore the country efficiently. 3. Taxi Scams: Be wary of taxi drivers who may overcharge and drop you off at incorrect locations. Always negotiate fares beforehand and consider using a reliable map or GPS. Cause l had this experience, and my driver claimed that he doesn't know my address, and his map is not working well. But he forced me to pay 15€ for 600 m. l could have walked to my hitel, but after facing the attack of stray dogs, l didn't want to take a risk at night, but he dropped me 7 minutes by walk from my accomadation anyway... Recommendations • Stay Alert: Be cautious of stray dogs and avoid walking alone at night in less populated areas. • Verify Taxi Fares: Always confirm the price before starting your trip and use reputable taxi services to avoid scams. Overall, Albania is a wonderful country to visit. Despite some challenges, the beauty and charm of the place make it worth the trip. l plan to return and continue exploring this amazing country. Because every rose has its thorns😇🫶🏻🇦🇱
Thank you for your detailed tips and advice! The people are warm and welcoming and we love the nature! So sorry to hear about your experience with stray dogs? Was that in the city centers or rural areas? And yes the public transportation isn’t he best, especially during the busier times of the year which is odd! That’s a great tip with taxis, always check they are verified and using the meter - if in doubt, avoid! Thank you again and we hope you enjoyed your trip overall! ✈️
Hi, I am thinking about traveling to Saranda via Corfu by ferry and staying for about 7 days. I was just wondering if I travel from Corfu to Saranda, do we need a PCR test(covid 19) to enter Albania and do I need one on my return to Corfu. The about going in September this year 2021
Well my Albanian chick islamic and she gorgeous so I don't care about anything else, Serbs Bosnians croates ain't really for me, Kosovo and Albania more my flavour 😋
I will tell you other non Islamic and other pagan as well ! Come and check. Albania is First Nation to be atheist by law in communism ! Serbia isn’t even a nation , is a dump mixes puzzle nation ! Serbia is Romania and Hungary and Kosovo land but filled with Rusians !
I just came from my albanian 🇦🇱 4 weeks holiday and feel it wasn't enough The country is stunning, it really has everything the whole planet 🌍 has in that just small country, from beautiful beaches to snowy alps and green lushness My only concern is that the country's tourism has shot up recently and it may spoil it,.... otherwise it really lives up to the reputation as Maldives of Europe and Switzerland picks all in one
It’s such a beautiful place and yeah one of the reasons it’s so special is because it’s a lot less visited than other places in Europe! We are glad you could explore it before it gets more and more popular!
Cash? I hardly used any. The country is not that nice. Very strange feel to it. Groceries were expensive, at least anything nutritional. €20 for a newer apartment in Durres is hard to beat
Contrary to what the UK media told me I decided to visit Albania. I was right the media was wrong. I was made welcome and managed to get around Tirana despite not knowing a word of the language. A challenge ? yes, but great fun. Certainly cheap but being honest I have to say the language barrier limited my experience.
Hi! I'm from Albania and I was born from Albania I live in a small city of Albania named "Krume" Prices are pretty cheap and there are a lot of friendly people And our history started when we had a war when 🇹🇷Turkey wanted to make Albania not speak Albanian but Turkish
Do they accept cards ? Is it mainly cash basis because it’s very hard to get euros in my country so I’m worried it will be a hassle when I travel to Albania😓
I'm English and my GF is Portuguese. Anywhere you can recommend as Albania and the England have bad reputations 🙈 I just want a happy, friendly, wonderful experience
You will no doubt have a wonderful experience in Albania, the people are friendly and in our experience as Brits, they are welcoming and kind to all visitors.
Just let you know, debit card do not function at any atm' s In Albania. Bring euros with you, otherwise you will be In trouble. You can pay with card only oin supermarkets and in fancy restaurants. And I really mean this, avoid this huge trouble I faced the first week here. Yes, you cannot get even a Cup of Coffee.
Albania, the only country in the world that can make italian food as good as in Italy, have alps like switzerland but cheaper, have beaches like croatia and greece but cheaper and a religious harmony.

Don't try it. Things are difficult in Albania. Prices for rent are expensive. Don't fall victim to the LIARS saying that prices are ok. You will get F**** over for rent in Albania as a foreigner. Target on your back. Beware
Actually a fancy restaurant or hotel would cost around 170Euros breakfast and dinner included depends on what part of albania it is but southern albania is much expensive then the rest
I will be traveling to Albania on October, see you soon Albania ❤️🔜
Lucky, I haven't been to my country Albania in 8 years
Have a wonderful time!
Welcome
1:09 thats my town , thanks for promoting my country
Albanian: Faleminderit per kta fjalet edhe mire dita/naten. English: Thank you for these words and good morning/night.

All the places in Albania are interesting and should visited from the North to South Thank you!
Good tip! Thank you!

Another nice video guys - well done.
As a albanian the most needed info was the one to carry cash , cause of pyramid schemes that is mentioned in vidio albanians are not really connected with banks 😂
Thanks for your feedback!
@Bill Smegma tell me another europian country to go on vacation that is cheaper than albania ?
@Bill Smegma are you serious ?
Oh come on those pyramid scenes were a puff, cash bc the few banks are rip off
Please is good for International Students from Africa to study Masters Program in Albania?
Great shots 👏 excellent video 👍🏻 Albania is so awesome 😍 I uploaded yesterday a short Albania travel video too 🎥 best cinematic greetings from Germany
Albania the antik country in world ❤️🦅❤️
Albania has come along way. Looks like an amazing place. Before 1991 it was known as the North Korea of Europe. Look forward to visiting.
since when was Albania North Korea , Belarus more like NK
@@shqip_sumejja Look at its past history under Xoxha. It was the most isolated country in Europe until 1991. It's sole ally was North Korea.
I think I wanna live there seriously!🥰
Go give it a try you never know. 😅
It is a very beautiful country and with the right management, it will become very rich.
@Nastro Adhesivo same was USA Italy....etc....people evolve and move on.
@Nastro Adhesivo
Wrong ! Albania is more safe than many EU country center and Albania is not selling drug from 2018 , soon there will be a cannabis legalisation but Albania has never sell weapons , since 1991 Albania was looking to build tourism and is predicted to have 9-10 milion tourist all the 2022 year to visit Albania in 2021 data tells that 6.4 mil foreigners enter Albania so tourism is increasing and the fact is when you will vist
I AM AMERICAN CITIZEN....THE REALTY WITH ME IS ...I LIKE TO RETIRE IN TIRANA..OR RUSSE ...WHAT DO YOU THINK IN GENERAL...I WOULD THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY KIND ADVISE ...THANX A MILLION
It's a good idea
Im going to albania in two three weeks,im going to durres vivas hotel,cant wait to see albania,seems great 😍 i wonder does they use euros beside albanian lek,can someone answer,thanks
We hope you have a great time! They do accept euro in Albanian too but not all smaller stores and sellers will
@@CreativeTravelGuide thank you so much,oh thats great,and awesome informative video👏
Yes, they use euros everywhere here.
How u like Dorres? They have a nice fish and pizza restaurant called Rehat Fish and Pizza
Yes they use euros but converting you money to LEK will be better and cheaper

Very helpful info! Thanks
I am from albania and seeing this video when i was a newborn and now i been here for a long time becuase this my country where i live!
My Home - always nice going back there
Going on 18th Sept .....looking forward to it 👍
I've been thinking of visiting Albania this year, but I just want to visit two places that have transportation between the two. I still don't know which month I will go. I really am looking for a retirement country, I am coming from USA. Any suggestions? THANX! Lilly
It’s a great place to visit, are you thinking of staying in the cities? Exploring the nature? Or heading to the beach? Beach trips are for the Summer but we love th spring and fall are the best months for cities and nature walks
Thank you for the video. Very informative. Does Albania use Uber?
Albania does not use uber anymore but there are a few taxi apps you can use to get around
@@CreativeTravelGuidethank you
I’m planning a travel soon, glad to see positive comments on people welcoming and being kind. I’m just curious of people perspective with Hajab head scarf? Is there discrimination in this regard?
We haven’t ever seen discrimination here but that isn’t to say it doesn’t happen; I am sure you’ll be fine in popular tourist areas
Thanks for information
Atm charges 6,5 euro for withdraw... Remember to turn off data on mobiles. 1gb cost around 10000 euros in roaming (i am from Poland). Very good and cheap konjak here :) but our beach in Golem is awfull.
Very Very nice information madam thanks for you
Now I am in Albania for the fourth time, and I would love to visit the contry again. But there is something that we foreigners should know: In a number of places, we are not allowed to drop used toilet paper in the toilet. They explain it by saying that the pipes are too narrow. So used toilet paper must be placed in a small container next to the toilet. This does not apply everywhere, but in some places.
Don't get put off by the negative comments from some people in the UK it's truly a wonderful country to visit
We love it but I appreciate everyone has different experiences and opinions!
Amen
It was very difficult for the children to do same² and
In the UK 🇬🇧 Canada 🇨🇦 America 🇺🇸 if You read, You can retire 39's Amin²
We are headed there for a honeymoon not really sure where we're going to stay
I hope you have fun. Visit Shkoder cuz its a beautiful small city 😁😁
Sounds gorgeous!
Choose Dhërmi please
Albanian Riviera
It looks beautiful.
Welcome to Albania 😍😍
Hi there how are I'm going to Albania in this January
My dream land hope one day i will visit albania
How do you make a hotel or STR Rez without accepting a cc? Someone must take them
l'm a torist in Albania from Azerbaijan🇦🇿☺️ l spent 1 week here and l want to share my experiences about my ongoing vacation✨
Albania is a beautiful country with crystal clear waters and towering mountains as video says. Here’s my experience and a breakdown of the pros and cons of visiting this wonderful place.
Pros
1. Stunning Nature: The landscapes are breathtaking, with pristine beaches and majestic mountains.
2. Affordable Prices: The cost of traveling in Albania is low, making it budget-friendly.✨
3. Delicious Food: The local cuisine is satisfying, especially for someone from Azerbaijan, which is a country of various food culture, Albania offers flavors reminiscent of home.😋
4. Friendly People: The locals are generally welcoming and hospitable.😍
5. Quiet and Relaxing: It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the serene environment.
Cons
1. Stray Dogs: We came across aggressive stray dogs, which was a frightening experience. There were 11 of them, and they came out of the dark suddenly, like a horror movie. They started to jump and show their scary teeth. l haven't seen tags on their ears, so l freaked out... It’s advisable to be cautious, especially at night. l stopped a random car and jumped in to save my life🤦🏻♀️
2. Transportation: Public transport can be unreliable, and some tourist spots are not accessible by bus such as "Blue eye".(taxi id over 50-60€ from Sarande)
Renting a car is highly recommended to explore the country efficiently.
3. Taxi Scams: Be wary of taxi drivers who may overcharge and drop you off at incorrect locations. Always negotiate fares beforehand and consider using a reliable map or GPS. Cause l had this experience, and my driver claimed that he doesn't know my address, and his map is not working well. But he forced me to pay 15€ for 600 m. l could have walked to my hitel, but after facing the attack of stray dogs, l didn't want to take a risk at night, but he dropped me 7 minutes by walk from my accomadation anyway...
Recommendations
• Stay Alert: Be cautious of stray dogs and avoid walking alone at night in less populated areas.
• Verify Taxi Fares: Always confirm the price before starting your trip and use reputable taxi services to avoid scams.
Overall, Albania is a wonderful country to visit. Despite some challenges, the beauty and charm of the place make it worth the trip.
l plan to return and continue exploring this amazing country. Because every rose has its thorns😇🫶🏻🇦🇱
Thank you for your detailed tips and advice! The people are warm and welcoming and we love the nature!
So sorry to hear about your experience with stray dogs? Was that in the city centers or rural areas?
And yes the public transportation isn’t he best, especially during the busier times of the year which is odd! That’s a great tip with taxis, always check they are verified and using the meter - if in doubt, avoid!
Thank you again and we hope you enjoyed your trip overall! ✈️
Hi, I am thinking about traveling to Saranda via Corfu by ferry and staying for about 7 days. I was just wondering if I travel from Corfu to Saranda, do we need a PCR test(covid 19) to enter Albania and do I need one on my return to Corfu. The about going in September this year 2021
You don't need a covid test to go to Albania, but maybe you need one when you'll come back, it depends on the country
Not test from may 2022
ALBANIA Absolutely Gorgeous and Beautiful places in Country upon i was watching video🥰💝❤️
Glad you enjoyed
How u go from shkoder to theth by taxi
This Modern day Albania is beautiful, and Islamic, wow.. I choose Albania over Serbia anyday ❤️
It’s a beautiful place to visit!
Islamic ? Wtf
Well my Albanian chick islamic and she gorgeous so I don't care about anything else, Serbs Bosnians croates ain't really for me, Kosovo and Albania more my flavour 😋
I will tell you other non Islamic and other pagan as well ! Come and check. Albania is First Nation to be atheist by law in communism !
Serbia isn’t even a nation , is a dump mixes puzzle nation !
Serbia is Romania and Hungary and Kosovo land but filled with Rusians !
@@sohail5049 Please don't come here.
Is there a retirement visa that allows long term residency in Albania?
I just came from my albanian 🇦🇱 4 weeks holiday and feel it wasn't enough
The country is stunning, it really has everything the whole planet 🌍 has in that just small country, from beautiful beaches to snowy alps and green lushness
My only concern is that the country's tourism has shot up recently and it may spoil it,.... otherwise it really lives up to the reputation as Maldives of Europe and Switzerland picks all in one
It’s such a beautiful place and yeah one of the reasons it’s so special is because it’s a lot less visited than other places in Europe! We are glad you could explore it before it gets more and more popular!
Thank you 👍 🙃
You're welcome 😊
Beautiful video, love your video lot, please make video on Pakistan. Good luck
Thank you so much!
Cash? I hardly used any. The country is not that nice. Very strange feel to it. Groceries were expensive, at least anything nutritional. €20 for a newer apartment in Durres is hard to beat
Contrary to what the UK media told me I decided to visit Albania. I was right the media was wrong. I was made welcome and managed to get around Tirana despite not knowing a word of the language. A challenge ? yes, but great fun.
Certainly cheap but being honest I have to say the language barrier limited my experience.
Lindas paisagens e cidades albanesas . Típicas dos países do mediterrâneo europeu 👍
Hello
When can I experience snow in Albania.
It tends to snow in January and February
I want to get a local job there but I have no connections
It depends what job you are looking for but I am sure there are lots of different websites you can find job listings on. Have you tried LinkedIn?
ive already been to albania, since i was a little kid actually. its all because my parents (both of them) are from there.
i also love the beaches there and one is close to my grandmas house in albania
I really want to go here however, does anyone know what are the restrictions from uk to albania. Planning to go September
I’m pretty sure there’s no restrictions. I had a transit flight in London and there were lots of locals flying to Albania.
That’s the best month to visit btw.
@@KS-lx7ng thank you
From may no restrictions
My ferst time in Albanian 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hope you have fun!
Thanks..... What About Georgie?????
Do you mean Georgia?
Hi!
I'm from Albania and I was born from Albania
I live in a small city of Albania named "Krume"
Prices are pretty cheap and there are a lot of friendly people
And our history started when we had a war when 🇹🇷Turkey wanted to make Albania not speak Albanian but Turkish
I'm not going to Albania my friend is I wanna see how it is like
Can you work with visiting visa in Albenia
Do they accept cards ? Is it mainly cash basis because it’s very hard to get euros in my country so I’m worried it will be a hassle when I travel to Albania😓
From what I’ve seen u need cash
From our experience, cash is preferred in Albania
In Tirana yes and in mostly of shopping centers or big chains yes !
Commission of cards is small in Albania
U can use cash&card
Albania the best
please share with us your driver info we plan to go with my daughter
Estaré en Albania pronto!!
I'm English and my GF is Portuguese. Anywhere you can recommend as Albania and the England have bad reputations 🙈 I just want a happy, friendly, wonderful experience
You will no doubt have a wonderful experience in Albania, the people are friendly and in our experience as Brits, they are welcoming and kind to all visitors.
tbh british media is trash , come and see for yourself , you'll change your mind
Just let you know, debit card do not function at any atm' s In Albania. Bring euros with you, otherwise you will be In trouble. You can pay with card only oin supermarkets and in fancy restaurants. And I really mean this, avoid this huge trouble I faced the first week here. Yes, you cannot get even a Cup of Coffee.
Thank you for the tip! This really helps our viewers
Right, beauty history.
What are the people like?
We found the people to be welcoming and friendly
