    Love Saranda, we live Central Belgrade and went during pandemic, the locals want an airport 🛫 understandably, but we liked the fact, it wasn't overrun, due to no airport (fly to Corfu and its 18€ on hydtofoil, takes 20 min.. Eastern Europeans holiday there, its substantially cheaper than Greece etc. Never met 1 Brit in 10 nights, heaven 😂. We swam in it.

      I don't think cheap is a negative connotation at all. By definition it is not. Albania is cheap, you get more than what you pay for.

    Hi! I'm planning on staying in southern Albania for some days in the beginning of May. Right now my plan is to stay in Saranda for 3 days, Ksamil for 2 days, and then Corfu for 3 days. But I'm still unsure. Maybe you have some recommendations! I'd love to visit beaches, and I like old towns and historic sites.
    Great video!

    • @worldwildhearts
      @worldwildhearts  Рік тому +3

      Thank you! I'd say Saranda 3 days is enough (also visit Butrint from Saranda). I would skip Ksamil, it's horribly crowded. You could spend more time in Corfu instead. Or visit Gjirokaster and the Blue Eye instead of Ksamil!

    Excellent video! It is so informative! Thank you! Albania intrigued me but I didn’t know anything about traveling there and I was nervous. I’m planning a trip to Northern Greece and maybe include Corfu. But now that I see that I can go from Corfu to Saranda, Albania maybe I will go there instead 😎 probably take a bus to Gjirokaster. Do you have to go through customs when going from corfu to Sarandë? Thank you again sooo much for this great video!

    • @worldwildhearts

      I think there is a border control when going from Greece to Albania and vice versa (as it's not part of the EU). Gjirokaster is definitely a must-visit!

      No we don’t and also wouldn’t recommend the one we went with! (The boat driver didn’t speak English and was rude). If you head to the pier, you’ll find plenty of boat operators! Maybe look a bit around before you choose one

      They all go to the same spots! I think they were called Krorëza Beach and Kakoma Beach. Just talk to the boat tour companies that line the harbor there and compare the prices. It wasn't too expensive (maybe 15-25 US$ each?)

    • @worldwildhearts
      @worldwildhearts  Рік тому +1

      We didn't prebook the tour. You can just talk to the salesmen at the harbour (there are like 100 different boat companies that offer the tour). Just make sure to talk to a few before making a decision! Not all of them are great;...

      We went with a random one around the boulevard, but wouldn't really recommend them as our captain barely spoke English. Your best bet is to walk around the boulevard and talk to different companies! It was pretty cheap... around 20USD per person if I remember correctly

      Thank you! There is a bus to Saranda, which leaves from the North South Albania Bus Terminal (you can take a bus to the terminal or take a taxi from the city center of Tirana - it’s not that far). We bought our ticket when we got to the station. It’s chaotic but people will help you find the ticket booth and bus. There’s at least 6 buses a day or so. You can find the timetable here: www.anitahendrieka.com/albania-bus-timetables/

Τα τελευταία χρόνια η πόλη εποικιζεται συστηματικά με Κοσοβαρους που αγοράζουν και διαμένουν μόνιμα στην Ελληνική αυτή πόλη. Το ίδιο γίνεται και στην άλλη Ελληνική πόλη τη Χιμάρα. Το Δελβινο, το Αργυροκαστρο και η Κορυτσά ελάχιστα θυμίζουν πλέον Ελλάδα.

      Όσο για τους Τσαμηδες θα πρέπει να γνωρίζεις ότι και αυτοί ήταν και είναι ως προς την καταγωγή Ηπειρώτες.
      Στην Ήπειρο και στην Αλβανία υπήρχε στα χρόνια της Τουρκοκρατιας ο τιμαριωτισμος και οι σπαχηδες. Πολλοί σπαχηδες υπό την πίεση των Τούρκων άλλαξαν θρησκεία, έγιναν δηλαδή μουσουλμάνοι για να μη χάσουν τις περιουσίες τους. Σπαχηδες δεν ήταν μόνο Αλβανοί αλλά και κάποιοι Ηπειρώτες στα πεδινα της θεσπρωτιας και στις πεδιάδες της νότιας Αλβανίας. Αυτοί οι Ηπειρώτες που άλλαξαν θρησκεία (Τουρκεψαν οπως λέμε εμείς οι Έλληνες), ταυτισαν από τότε τη ζωή και τη μοίρα τους με τους Αλβανούς. Αυτοί είναι οι Τσαμηδες, σκληροί τιμωροι των οποίων υπήρξαν οι Σουλιώτες και που μισούν θανάσιμα τους Έλληνες, μεταφέροντας από γενιά σε γενιά το βάρος και την ντροπή της αλλαξοπιστιας, χαρακτηριστικό άλλωστε που διακατειχε και τους γενιτσαρους.
