Great video! May I also add a tip on getting cash in Albania — Albanian banks charge a variety in fees – some Zero ATM fees to foreign cards holders and some charge high fees. I used the ATM Fee Saver mobile app – it gives a list of fee-free and lower fee ATMs in Albania along with their withdrawal limits. Boy helped me save so much on unnecessary expenses. Worth adding to your list!
Have you seen Hollywood's movie "Taken". Then don't take any ideas about Albanians from this movie. I travelled there this summer. People are friendly and I felt safe. Let's keep it a secret since the prices are reasonable and Albania is not overrun by tourists.
I think Albania or georgia is the best alternative option from Turkey as we see these days their attitude are changing and act aggressive toward tourists specially arab
Visiting Albania riviera every summer since 2021-22-23 realllly lovely people , food and vibe!
Ready for next 2024

Albania is definitely a beautiful country, no question about that. I'm from there, so my opinion might be a bit biased though 😊 If Albania manages to get rid of the corrupted politicians, mafia and the biggest problem since the fall of communism in early 90s, mass immigration, then it would be great for living, not just for tourism. Mass immigration of young Albanians is basically killing Albania's future. But well, that's not something that should worry you as a tourist visiting Albania anyways 😊
Is Albania good to visit in November? How is the weather?
I love Albania ❤❤

Thanx for speking so good for Albania. ❤❤🖤🖤❤❤🖤🖤🇦🇱🇦🇱🇽🇰🇽🇰 If people want to visit Albania and like the beaches u can go to south. Saranda and Vlora are perfect. In winter too but in summer are more beautifull. If u like mountains u can visit north of Albania. U can visit them in winter and summer. The vew is good , very beautifull, in winter and summer. If u visite north of Albania be prepared bc it will be a way to cold. 😅😂 ❤❤🖤🖤❤❤🇦🇱🇽🇰🇦🇱🇽🇰🇦🇱🇽🇰🇦🇱

Nice country, why do they illegally migrate here?
Went to Albania on my last trip to Europe when on my way to Greece and I enjoyed my time there.
Woman travelling alone? So who is holding the camera then?
Non coffee no Life
Beautiful places, secret places, ruined by trash. The prices here for us, are so high, that we never visited most of the places that people from abroad, already have. Total shame!
I Love to settle in Albania
Love Albania, Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Please DW make more documentaries about Albania's nature, hospitality and monuments
What is with this slavic music DW put on all Albanian documentaries ?????
Where did you get your rental car from and how much did you pay
In 2023 they close it with jut a bit more than 10 milion turists. And they say that 2024 will have an increase of 20-30%
It makes me proud how Albania is opening for the world! Albania is more than communism era, its rich of ancient and medieval history to discover 🇦🇱✝️☪️❤️
Arben Selimaj guest house looks plenty crowded already. Adding six more rooms? I'll go elsewhere.
A scenic country.
