DRIVING IN ALBANIA 🚙 | Durres & Berat Travel Vlog | Car Rental Tirana
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Road trip vlog starts! We grabbed a car rental in Albania with Easy Rent Cars, leaving Tirana we travel to Berat via Durres. Book your car here: bit.ly/2YkbCFj discount codes are below ⬇
To make this car rental in Albania happen we used Easy Rent Cars, the same company we hired a car with in Croatia last year and the road trip is off to a great start! More about them below, but book your car here: bit.ly/2YkbCFj here's the discount codes we mentioned:
Code 1: erc08 to save 8% off any booking
Code 2: erc35 to save $35 off the total price if you're booking a rental over $300
A car in Albania is vital if you're planning a road trip, while we were based in Tirana we knew it was necessary to look into rental cars and eventually commit to hire a car to see the country. Albania isn't really at the point where they have decent tourist travel options, while you could rent a driver or hire a guide to help you travel the country for a while - the best option really is to have your own car, plan a road trip and travel
Today we travel to Durres first on our way to Berat, the white city. A fun day exploring, so many amazing locals, crazy drivers on the road and just all in all an epic adventure.
🏠 This is our Berat accommodation, amazing place with modern rooms and breakfast! Funny story actually, you'll see in the next vlog: geni.us/0AmdH Note - if you book ANY accom worldwide through this link it helps us a lot! If you're booking some accom just click on the link first :)
Easy Rent Cars now also offer a "Cashback"option that will be worth looking at. After completing payment, you can click "send to messenger" to start. If your reservation is confirmed, you get a random amount of cashback 7 days after you returned your car.

U not a wisit the best Albanian attraction, famous village Lazzarett who produce tho most weed in Europe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Daneger and Stacey well FreddoCapuccino only Greeks make it , Albanians don’t drink to much so that’s why in some places isn’t good 😂
Daneger and Stacey Thank you for reading my message ♥️♥️🇦🇱🇦🇱
Gotta say, your Albania series has been super impressive so far. You don't really see a lot of it on UA-cam and it seems like a seriously underrated country. Looking forward to more from this interesting place^^
It's not covered much at all, the next few videos will continue to up the game with experiences as well!
I love that country but what surprised me the most was I never seen so friendly people before
Yes Albanians are brothers with Turks since ottomans
@@κανναβουριοςκανναβουριδης Since ottoman?
@@remutroblous4453 from the time ottomans occupied albania
@@remutroblous4453 is it bullshit the university's build by Turks in Albania? The power plant south Albania? The mosques? Give me a brake dude
κανναβουριος κανναβουριδης I’m Christian Albanian but I prefer Turks to Greeks . In Greece first thing ppl ask you when they hear you’re from Albanian is are you orthodox or Muslim ( I’m Catholic) I’m turkey I was there 1 month no one ask me my religion but everyone was friendly when they hear you are Albanian. Greek are very ignorant and Turks look more white than Greeks which shocked me
Ok Albania is such a good surprise. Blown away so far and now on my bucket list. Beautiful.
It's a gem for sure, if you like adventure and beauty this is the place!
@@DanegerAndStacey Was never on my radar but is now. Thank you.
Lovely country and people but I don't understand why has a bad reputation as a country .. I love it over there and no problems no danger or nothing like that only the people who see you and ask if you need any help .. I was walking at night to and from the club and I tell you what fucking loved it and I can't wait to go back 😘😘😘
@@nunununu5025 I know but not in Albania and so you know Albania is not the only country who got drugs but at least my country is very safe unlike other countries with lots of crimes
We in Britain, only hear about the negatives of Albania, gangsters and slavery in the sex trade etc and like mugs we take that on board. I’m so glad you went here and enlightened me. It looks so cool!
Pleased we're able to show the other side of it, you'll see more and more beauty as we get more coastal - amazing people as well
Hey Russell , I totally get how you only heard negatives about Albania , but that's what the news always show : the negatives .... There's a lot of Albanians who emigrated to GB , the majority of which you never hear about cuz they just live their lives peacefully , in addition you also get the gangsters and uneducated people , who have given Albania the reputation it doesn't deserve to have .
Peace and Love from an Albanian in Germany
Ronnie Roni to you too, peace and love
u have see only your news mr.i live in uk for many years.wich one ur country is like free country but if u look deep on it.the situation is ur prisoner
Mirian Hamzallari I agree with you, no countries are truly free. If we obey bad laws, good to talk to you 👍🏻
This country I’ve never even thought about! It’s so beautiful 😍 #BucketList
I love driving around to explore new places 😊I can't believe how nice everyone is there!
Each of these next few vids will surprise you even more!
We are nice people and with a
lot of respect as well we have a bad reputation and I don't know why but people who visit my country they can judge by themselves ..
So much joy t to see this beautiful 😍 country Albania 🇦🇱 I been enjoying every video. Adventure places to think about visiting! Keep up the great live stream👍love from Houston, Texas. USA 🇺🇸 🌎👏
Albania looks amazing! If the roads are anything like some of the Bosnian roads we drove on though, your road trip should be full of excitement! Can’t wait to see more!!!
Haven't driven in Bosnia but assuming it's the same, cool thing is you can just do what you want haha
Daneger and Stacey absolutely!! 😂
That coffee is LEGIT the LARGEST COFFEE I've ever seen. Love the 'WELL' Table and love how your embracing the Albanian culture. Looking forward to your road trip through Albania.
The warm welcome you have recieved in Albania is something of a tradition here dating from way back. Even during communism, when some people were so poor they barely had anything to eat, they still respected the guest and tried to offer him whatever they had.
For the most part, this tradition has survived today too. Sadly, just like any other place, you can't hope for everyone to be good. However coming across a douchebag is very rare, so I hope you guys don't get unlucky and I hope you enjoy your stay.
I might be a little biased, but I would like to say, there are a lot of beautiful places here. The alps of the north have breathtaking scenery, and the rocky beaches in the south are beautiful and refreshing. Sadly, because of a lack of investment for political reasons that I would not like to get into, the infrastructure is still lacking for a country which hopes to turn tourism into its main economic subject.
Maybe the "virginity" of the beaches is somewhat attractive to some people, so there are some positives to it, but the situation must change. There are a lot of beautiful places which are unaccessible for tourists and that is a big shame. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed Albania, hopefully in the near future it will get even better.
As an Albanian living abroad i am so grateful that you guys post these beautiful and realistic videos. You are such a beautiful couple but above all with a beautiful mindset. So happy you enjoyed Albania.
Thanks so much ❤️
Guys you make the most interesting travel videos about Albania, I like your vibe. Can't wait for episode 2.
You really did a great showcasing the start of your adventures in Albania. Looking forward to road trip through Albania.
i miss the cobblestones of Berat city! I played there when I was child. ✌❤
Very cool little place! Still got a traditional/local feel which is awesome
“we’re also sitting at a well” made me laugh out louddd 😂😂😂 I miss Albania
That's almost as random as it gets, but Albania just be fulla surprises haha
Albania looks great guys! Really enjoying this series! Congrats again on reaching 100k! Really enjoy your guys work!!
What a beautiful country! Great to see you guys keeping up your fine tradition of visiting local vineyards. Berat looks next level in terms of the scenery and buildings - loved the elegant bridge over the river. And Stacey provides the best food review ever seen on UA-cam at 9:14 - that had me laughing out loud!
That was the best review ever haha. It was like we were in school or a library, the owner (didn't speak English) and her son were just standing there watching us... the whole scenario was hilarious.
@@DanegerAndStacey 😂😂
Just came across this video 🥰 and I feel so happy that you guys have also a good experience in Albania 🇦🇱. I hope you enjoy your vacations!
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Btw. I‘m from Albania (Tirana)
Blown away by Berat! Looks like nothing I have ever seen in the western Balkans. Very unique. Will go there next year. My early new year's resolution.
You must visit the Castel
to!
It's 2400 years of city. Berat is unique
You must go in Kruja ,and Shkodra as well ✌
You guys have to go to gjirokaster it's a town with a lot of culture and history trust me I have been there and you will learn sooo much about albania and its past
Loving these Albania vlogs ❤️ Inspiring me to travel again soon 😊
It's all about the adventure! Thanks for the love
I can't believe Berat is sooo beautiful ❤️
If u havent gone to Kosovo and Macedonia and if u have time, i think you will also like both places. Albania is amaizing. Thanks for visiting our motherland.
Just catching up on you guys after a visit from our Danish son, and so lovely to see this amazing winery. Albania is definitely a treasure and well worth the visit. In fact we can imagine spending a month or so there getting into the people and foods.
Great share guys :)
Best, James and Kim
I am Albanian and I've never driven there 😅it freaks me out!!! Thank you guys for creating these beautiful vlogs and visiting my country! I really hope you had a great time there and enjoyed a lot the food. These vlogs made me miss less Albania. Thank you 🙏❤️❤️
Am happy that you have a good experience in albania 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤i love berat too ....greetings from Roskovec💫❤
Some people may like the Bachelorette, but Daneger and Stacey are my guilty pleasure:) Loved it.
That puts us up there in a league of our own if we're above the Bachelorette 🤣 Haha thanks Eric
I just loved the WHITE CITY, FROM ALBANIA. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL 😍 👌 ❤ 👏
I really envy your life . It’s so awesome to visit new places and learn about the life there , the foods , the culture, the history . Someday I hope I’ll be able to do it too. Oh great videos by the way.
Love the positive vibes! ❤️
I was born in Berat. Love it when I see vlogs like this. Albania and it's people tend to surprise tourists. Glad y'all liked it.
Definitely surprised us in the best way possible
Berat it’s called the city of windows. As you can see the houses have so many windows.
Beatifull videos about Albania, I was there last week and I had good time to.
Saw few more videos in your chanel and they are all awesome. I see you traveling alot and wisiting many countries, its just a shame that you did no visit Bosnia and Hercegovina
Will get to Bosnia next year no dout
Watching these vlogs makes me wanna go back to the motherland witch i just came back from ❤️
I'm so excited to see my HOMETOWN in an AWESOME VLOG!!!
I'm born and raised in Greece, but both of my paretns are from Berat, Albania!
I've been visiting Berati since I was 2 years old every summer, Easter and Christmas. It has become a beautiful city and a great trip destination!!! I'm so lucky to have seen it transform over the years!!!
Tirana is also a marvelous city! It always has been!!! ^_^ (from previous vlog, ep1)
im so proud of my country😭😭😍😍
Erika Ashiku SAME 😭😭😭😭😭😭 PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERES A COUNTRY CALLED ALBANIA

Berat is called "The City of a thousand Windows"..👍
I feel inspired to go on a road trip!! Such a beautiful area to visit!!
(We just got a new car and are in the process of naming her now 😆)
Oh that's exciting! Hope you guys get an awesome name for the new 🚙
Cute Lil spots, great vlog once again you two!
Hello from durres...I am happy you really enjoy in albania
Loved it, thanks
The sweet was "gliko".
Berat is called the city of a thousand windows not the white city. In Albania we use to say " The house of the Albanian belongs to God and to the guest" so this kindly explains the hospitality and the kindness of the people.
Wow i'm loving this trip ! Can't wait for the next part.
The sweet fruit in syrup is very traditional in Greece as well and is to welcome guests. It’s not for tourists. All the traditional households put fruit into syrup to preserve it. In Greece its called γλυκό του κουταλιού
We call it the same gliko. We share so much in food customs. When i was in Corfue i at so much things with strange names in restaurants that were surprise..surprise..exactly what my mother cooked me back home.
Hey guys!!! Greetings from Albania 🇦🇱♥️
Hope you enjoyed your trip 🤗
welcome to albania from new york city.miss you home sweet home albania
Never heard a better description about the way we drive 😂. Just as example, my driver licence is suspended for the 2nd time within a year 🤦♂️
HAHAHA thats brilliant
😂😂😂😂 Respekte vlla , 15 vjet pa patent une , mu bllokua edhe mua nja dy here dhe se kam marre me mundim ta nxjerr , keshtu qarkulloj hahah
Go to korça next
I was born there and it’s so beautiful
I love your video because most of video they are camping. You visit luxury place and good food this is real vacation for me.
So nice of you
Realy nice video👌
You just made my day guys! Nice videos!
Berat they call it the city of drunk because the roofs are in like a slide thingy and if you’re drunk you will roll down it
Haha thats hilarious!
Daneger and Stacey my Grandpa told me he is 86 years old
Hi love your channel you guys are fantastic. Inspiring me to get out and do more travelling. Brilliant content can't wait for your next video xx love
Thanks Julie! Hope we can inspire you to take a trip yourself some where :)
My hometown Berat ❤❤😍
I love that you guys like my country, Albania because it’s like a hidden gem of the Mediterranean. By the way you guys should definitely check out Ksamil and Sarande the coastline is AMAZING. Should definitely try some çofte they are delicious and there’s a bunch of more food to try.
Congratulations you 2 crazy kids, well done.
Lovely 🇦🇱❤
I really liked the video. The pace is ideal, good information and well transmitted. I hope to learn a lot to improve my photography and videos of my channel. Regards of Portugal.
We call it the city of 1000 windows.
I thought that the well table was very cool!😎
Awesome huh! SO unexpected
Dear Stacey and Daneger, thanks for showing my Albania to the others as it is. I was born in Berat. Best greetings from Austria 🌹🌹
Tourists here, have had their best time. Beautiful landscapes and very cheap but tasty food by Western standards. 😀👍
Totally agree!
I am really surprised by the comments, isn’t Albania on the list of the most visited countries in the world. I heard this year they are getting around 6.5 million tourists, and that puts it in the top 40 in the world, for example Brazil only gets 6 million.
We've never met anyone who's been to Albania before, wouldn't have expected it to be in the top 40 at all. In the UK they get a bad rep for drugs and gangs etc apparently so tourism is still very slow from that side.
@@DanegerAndStacey Per capita , albania factually is almost on par with greece. This year the number will reach circa 7 million foreign visitors which is an exponential increase of 800 % this past decade. However given the small population , in absolute terms the number of tourists cannot compete against the one in (much) bigger countries.
All the best to you two , as an albanian i need to thank you for your flattering videos :) !
Hubz and I are going there in Aug. 😊😊😊 Hopefully we are fully jabbed (against Covid19) by July.🤞🏽🤞🏽 I am here watching your Albania series to learn. Loving it.
We are also planning to rent a car and go on a road trips. ❤
Albania is worth visiting. Tourism is in infancy there, and people very willing to please.
James Ebola isn’t albania getting 6 million tourists a year, which is double of the countries population and it gets more tourists than Brazil per year.
@@User12345fan No, not true. You must have them confused with another country whose name starts with "A". Keep in mind that Albania was totally shut off from outside world for many decades of Communist rule. The only country they had relations with was China. It is all changing now.
Albania 🤩🤩😏😏🤩🤩
I love all ur videos guys ,thank u for sharing ,Saturday going there for 10 days
Berat my city❤️❤️❤️
Welcome in my country 🇦🇱 🤗
No guys..is called 10001 window city
I drove south last fall and I loved it. I thought it was going to be a nightmare but it was awesome. There are rules....they are just not written down anywhere
Feels that way!
Thank you very much for this video guys at least now you know and you are witnes that all the lies and stereotypes that are used about albania and albanians are absolutely not true. Thank you this means a lot
The only danger u can get in Albania is by driving, u must be very carefully they drive like crazy 😝
Haha yeah they definitely do
Honestly sometimes it gets you GTA feeling .
you also are albanian,you drive also like crazy ,
amarildo xhelaj haha i grow up in Germany so i dont drive so albanian 😂
You guys are so lovely, you would be welcomed in Albania always
beautiful video,, yes, we are a small town but we have a big heart.
👌👌really beautiful
8:38
*The City Of 1001 Windows*
Love your videos guys enjoy your staying
Love this Albania tour videos, it's such a beautiful and interesting country.
🇦🇱
❤️
But please do visit a SERBIA 🇷🇸 !
Not just Belgrade but other places in Serbia....Golubac fortress, Novi Sad, Niš, Subotica, Kopaonik, Drina river and Tara mountine, Zlatibor and Zlatar mountines, Krupajsko vrelo.........
Fuck Serbia
Come to Vlorë/Albania 😎😊😊
U guys should try visiting Gjirokastra if u can. Its probably the most beautiful city in Albania. Not far from Berat too. Great videos by the way. Im glad u having a good time
Loved this! I think we are going to go to Dürres (on the bus though) when we go to Tirana. I hope you don’t mind, but I have a practical question - was it easy getting a SIM card? What did you need, any ID? I’ve never been to a non-EU country in Europe, so our UK phone data won’t work in Albania or Macedonia. Thanks! Safe journey, I’m really looking forward to the beach video 😊
Simcards are easy - Tmobile or Voda seem good, just need 1300 ALL and your passport and thats it!
Daneger and Stacey Perfect, thank you so much!
Lovely video guys . Just been planning my trip . I was wondering if it’s worth booking a stay in Durres ( as is close to airport) or should I look somewhere further south ? What would you recommend?
Thank you! Durres is a nice spot to stop - but there are definitely some nicer beaches around but they can be really isolated!
Daneger, you look totally like an albanian, i mean you propably have some albanian dna
09:00 Fruit with syrup is just jam. I thought jam was the same everywhere in the world, fruit with syrup. When it's homemade organic jam, Albanains like to serve just a little bit to guests, on a small plate, because it's way too sweet and you wouldn't be able to eat much. It's kind of an old tradition to serve homemade jam (never from supermarket jars). My grandma used to boil our garden fig fruits into jam. It was delicious.
Have a look at 08:47 - it's not jam, it's some kind of firm fruit or something. We still have zero idea what it was! The jams we tried through out Albania were all delicious though, so many little local shops with lovely ladies letting us taste.
@@DanegerAndStacey @Daneger and Stacey It looks like prune jam. The plates it's served on are typically used for jam. Because it's homemade, prunes are not mashed, but whole fruits.
@@DanegerAndStacey is gliko is made with skin of watermelon
It is gliko with fresh walnuts.
Gliko is just "jam" in Greek. It's the same thing with "recel", which is jam in Albanian.. @Noku Noku
Great vlog guys hope you had an amazing journey 😃😃
P.S the city Berat is not called the city of 1001 windows but the " one over another one window "city, the confusion even amongs albanians(!) is due to the albanian pronunciation of nje mije nje(1001) over nje mbi nje (one over another one) 😅😂😂 albanians mix that up all the time.
Right!
Berat is so beautiful
Wow this is very nice place in ALBANIA I like to try why not thank you for sharing this video 💑👌🇦🇱🇦🇱
