Albania

Language: Albanian

Capital: Tirana

Currency: Albanian Lek & Euro

When we first visited Albania, we weren’t sure what to expect — what we found was a country filled with absurdly warm hospitality, dramatic mountain passes, and coastal views that rival Greece at a fraction of the cost.

Because Albania isn’t fully on the mainstream tourist radar yet, finding straightforward, up-to-date travel logistics can be tricky.

That’s why we put together these guides: to give you exact itineraries, transport breakdowns, and curated recommendations for food and activities based on our own first-hand experiences from our trip.
