Exploring Vlorë, Albania | Where To Stay + What To Do
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Vlorë is one of the most popular destinations in Albania with a gorgeous coastline known as the Albanian Riviera. It is best visited in the summer, but I still had a lovely time even in the winter. It is also the birthplace of Albania as an independent nation and has a lot of historical significance. In this video I take you on a city tour of which area I would recommend staying and some things to see and do. Hope you guys enjoy the video! xx

Vlora is a stunning City. In the summer that place is magical.
Sdrastvutje. Shto pazhallusta djevoça.?
@@altindemi1 What are you saying man?
I was greeting my friends In Russian lunguage.
@@altindemi1 Ok cool. Nice gesture
Hi Alina. Such a great video of a very special place. The sun certainly makes a difference. Just wanted to say that the best beaches and resorts are located around the corner of the apartment. That’s where the crystal blue water is for those planning to visit in summer. Glad you enjoyed your stay in the apartment. Welcome back anytime. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Stay safe and take care.
Thank you so much, Effie! I had a great time at your place and will definitely try and be back one summer!
😉
Effie, if someone wanted to visit those beaches around the corner, would they have to stay and be guests of those resorts, or could they stay in Lungomare or Uji i Ftohte, for example, and still go there for the day (rent umbrella and chairs)?
I love the fact that you are bringing us Vlore in the winter and the cloudy/rainy days. I happen to be one who loves ALL SEASONS. This weather is a refreshing balance to the good weather shots.
Congrats to the Albanians, they have done an excellent job renovating the old city.
Return in greece
My favourite part of your presentations is that you present a very realistic view of your subject matter. This is becoming my favourite channel Alina!
Thank you! I do try to balance things to not just be the most perfect parts of a place :)
Fantastic video! Vlorë looks like a perfect destination for beach vacation, and deserves more global recognition. The broadwalk looks unique and amazing, espcially with the mountains in the backdrop.
Ps: Your interaction with the cute doggos have become my favourite part of your videos on this trip! Thank you for filming them- they literally make my day :)
It really is an awesome spot for a beach vacation! And yes, many cute doggos all across Albania :)
Thank you Alina for the beautiful videos and your smile that gives us gifts every time 🇦🇱❤️🇦🇱
One of the most interesting videos about Vlore on UA-cam. Thanks. You are the Best!
Thank you!
so many girls from Ukraine love the Guys from Vlora, so many they got Maried to, and stay in Vlora.that City is Magic
Sometimes I almost skip your video when it's all crumby weather. But then I find I've watched it all because of your delivery.
This video can be summed up in one word: gorgeousness. (Is that a word?) Thank you for another great video, on another new level!
Thank you! :)
@@AlinaMcleod You're welcome. btw, I checked:

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful video promoting our country. Vlora is my favorite city. As a kid in vlora we were spending our family vacation
Such a beautiful video as always, Alina! 😊 Love how every video you made is filled with your characteristic and authentic vision of every place you visit! Love to see the world through your eyes!! ❤️😊
Thank you so much!
Thank u for Promoting my country! Love from Vlore ❤️🇦🇱
OMG!!! THE DOGGGGG, I went on a road trip on 2017, and that same dog was there, I have the best pictures of this dog, omgggg, this is amazing!! aww I wanna meet the dog again, and may be take it with me to Kosovo.
Hoi, Alina, real good idea and work to show us Vlore. Definitely a place for the upcoming spring/summer season where the people should spend some time seaside. Real good to see Kolonat, I like it. Albanian food in general looks like once again declicious. Good work, well done.
Wow, so inspiring the view from the living space in the apartment! Bet the sound of the waves on the beach was nice in the evening. Great music again - just peaks my interest even more. It would be so much fun to walk and have coffee with you there. The old town is so colorful - looks like something out of a Disney animated movie (Beauty and the Beast?). LOL, your segment as a fast food connoisseur! And why do those four-legged friends always find you - friend magnet? Fellow wanderer? Your eyes brighten any cloudy day. Certainly, your video made my day today! Just magic! Love to you, and your Momma and Dad! ❤️
Just the view from the apartment is already worth the price. I can image how beautiful it is in the summer. Great info.
It really is!
Any day, no matter what the weather is, is a good day in Alina's company. Sunshine was not missing in Vlore, she was kindly keeping us company throughout. Thank you Alina for your lovely content.
Thank you!
Alina dose it again, another wonderful presentation of a beautiful city.
😉
That dog was so sweet and cute someone should adopt it 🥰☺️
I think they are happy to be free
Amazing city 👍
City of my berth that has a special place in my heart i miss it now 😀 I’m there every summer for a month, what a lively city during the summer seasons,
Have fun girl !
Greetings from rainy London ✌️
been to vlora a few times love it nice place and the lungomare its beuatiful😁😁
Cool, i love Argostoli and Lassi.
Hi Alina!
I think is the first time you are uploading so early in the morning ⌚😁
Good job! 🎓👏👍
I am coming to Albania from USA soon and I am glad to see this
Wow.. I have become a big fan of your content. Keep up the great work. Amazing content as always.
There you are! I thought it was about time for a video. You've put Albania on my map now.
Happy to hear it!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery and marvelous architecture. You do a wonderful job showing and explaining everything. Thanks again beautiful Alina.
Vlore is more beautiful in summer sees more smiling people
vlonjats?
I’m thinking the Albanian Riviera! I can’t imagine what you would pay for an oceanfront AirBnb residence on the French Riviera. Place looked dead in the winter but I can picture it as a summer draw for swimmers. A pity the season precluded you from having that opportunity but when all is said and done, it looked like you had the time of your life in Vlore! Alina, you visited an amazing place!
Even in the winter it's beautiful, and it was fun to see the faux McD's! Hope you got some rest in the rain- thanks Alina!
Amazing video and a lot of information to know about this special place.
Thank you Alina.
Thanks, beauty!
😉
Grazie Alina vedere mio citanatale tramite la tua telecamera mi fa piangere il cuore dalla nostalgia sei bravisima trawelbloger grande lavoro komplimenti e buonagiornata da italia
Love the view from the apartment you stayed at. Your Albania videos have been very interesting and insightful. I kind of want to go now after watching your videos.
I hope you do check it out sometime!
I've never even heard of Vlorë before, but I'm glad I have now! Looks like it would be a great stop on a trip down to Athens, maybe.
Greetings Alina, I hope you doing well, I suggest you to visit Kosovo, Its cheap and friendly, I suggest to visit " Mirusha Waterfalls, Radafc Waterfalls,Brod,Rugova and Boge Mountain, Lake Liqenat,City of Prizren,Peja,Gjakova and the Capital Prishtina, you can go to ski resort in Brezovica, God Bless
Hello Alina. I'm really happy to see u in my birth city, i have a lot of beatyfull remembers from that city. Its better to visit in the sammer bcs its really amazing . Have a nice trip and beatyfull time in Albania . Salut : Nik Brahimaj , Lausanne Switzerland
Are 📞 from prison ma man. I’m really sorry.
Another beautiful video Alina
Alina,Thanks again for beautiful video, in few years Vlora is going to look much much better, there is quite few more projects coming up for downtown historical area and also the beach .Alina if it happens that you go back there in summer season don't miss beaches further south, you will really be surprised. Love you again for your beautiful videos and stay healthy.
Alina you are a ray of sunshine ....despite the bleak weather you create an amazing perspective of a nice place to visit. Your productions are first class...Thanks for all the great work you do to take us away from COVID seclusion!! Welcome back home to Canada!!
Great video. Vlore looks amazing. Thanks Alina
Hi Alina! Thanks for the enjoyable visit to the lovely coastal city of Vlorë, Albania. It’s great to warm-up by the beach - especially during the Balkan region winter. Super apartment! Any thoughts about taking the ferry from to Vlorë to Brindisi, Italy - only 133 kilometers (83 miles) away? Be happy, safe, and healthy, Alina!!!
Yes, I heard there was a ferry that goes there and then also there's one to Corfu from Saranda! If it wasn't covid times that would be an amazing segway.
Thank you for sharing- very much appreciated and great to see another location to visit
Alina you have a magic touch to turn every place you visit into an attractive one for us... I'd recommend Sazan-Karaburun peninsula boat trip during summertime if you decide to come back and visit Vlora again...
Thank you!
Very tempted to stay at that airbnb! Vlorë looks beautiful, even with the less than ideal weather!
You totally should!
Thanks for the great video, Alina!
Now we looking at my kind of place.I Love the Ocean. Beautiful. Thanks Alina 👍✌🙏🇺🇸😎
So sad the weather wasn’t on your side 😔.. thank you for your tireless work Alina.. really enjoy watching your travel videos.. can’t wait for these damn restrictions to end so we can start flying again.. hope you’re getting some well deserved time off to recharge the batteries and spend time with your family.. btw.. if you want to sound like real Albanian, always omit the last letter of the city.. eg. Vlor (with a very soft R) 🙂
Good to know, thanks! :)
GOD BLESS MY FAVOURITE TRAVEL UA-camR!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Nice coverage good and bad both , we can understand actual views expressed interesting
A beautiful city worth exploring.
Even when she fights weather when it is not ideal, she manages to pull off another wonderful video. You are right, this looks like a summer visit for sure. Great preview you shared here. Love the delicious dinner you showed us, made me hungry just by looking at it. Great colors of the buildings, and would definitely like to visit there in the summer and enjoy those beaches. Thanks for sharing, it is another of your great quality videos. Looks like wearing a mask was not a big issue there, good to see maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel of this pandemic. Keep them coming, Alina!! Great job!! Cheers!!
Thanks, Michael! Yes, the dinner was truly fantastic :)
I would give you a 🏆 for best you tube videos Alina 😃 ! You are really good at presenting entertaining content. Thanks.
Thank you!
Hallo Alina! Beautiful and interesting Video again and the apartment is really awesome it invites to stay for long time. Stay healthy!
The dog is cute but I think he has a poor life.
Great video! At least you can move around and even in rain that is better than being in lockdown + curfew over here in the NL! Have fun!
The dogo was such a cutie! The city looks really nice and relaxing. Bet in the summer there is a lot of hustle and bustle, so better off visiting out of the tourist season. Why did UA-cam delay your video?
such a good work that will promote Albanian tourism. Thank you!!!!
😀🌷Beautiful. Beautiful place. The 🏢 apartment is situated at the right distance from the 🏊♂️ Water/Beach. Amazing view from the Balcony. 🧘♂️ Calm. Clean water. 🌊 Surf. 🍔☕😋 tasty food. Nice place Alina 👍🌷Yet another feast for our eyes 😀 🤩👌🌷
Epic work! the beauty is unbelievable! Sure appreciate you sharing and showing us! Wow Alina a unbelievably nice house to be staying at! So cool that veiw! Wow! Luv&Peace Cheers your pal Sean from Sask Can! Trying to keep warm! Lol!🙂⚘

@@AlinaMcleod Perfect. Glad you enjoying Vlora
Vlora is marvelous!😍Thank you for this amazing video!🤗🥰
Wonderful😍from my point of view;Vlora is a mixture of Nice,Marseille and Monaco(South of France) here in Albania🇦🇱❤️Natural wonder that includes beauty,history and luxury in one place😍✨️💝❤️
Seen few videos of yours--You made every country more beautiful than it is - Which is Amazin :)
Thank you for the great journey Alina, I really like that city. My favorite parts of Vlora start exactly where your apartment was located, but continue down the road going the other way (not towards downtown as you were showing in the video). Those are the best beaches, bars, places to visit. Crystal clear greenish water. Of course the sunny days bring up the beauty of the city, and it has many many sunny days throughout the year.
Flavor88, which beach/resort/hotel would you recommend in that part of Vlore, but that it's still close enough to the Lungomare area?
@@sixersfan3098 I have seen many nice looking hotels located at the lungonare area. I cannot point you to towards one specifically, as I have not stayed in hotles there. The area I was referring above, is now under "construction" as they are enlarging the road and extending the lungomare, therefore I would avoid it for the time.
I really loved this vlog. It means a lot to me.
I would like to show u some beatiful places in Vlora my city but im out of albania now ☹ but if u come again i will be happy to be ypur guide for free.
Vlora's beach looks like Rio de Janeiro, but without robbers
.
They are coming like business men now.
haha yes. People are super nice in Vlora as long as you dont piss them off and offend them. They are tough people with character.
@@GenosGlory haha yes.so if you have to say your concerns and they get piss off what you have to do ?
What you're saying is mentality of sick people without mental strength. Simple low class with class car.
Lmao
@@altindemi1 Not about concers but if you step overboard. They will help you with anything but dont take them being super nice as a weakness. Vlora people are great strong character people.
Great video Alina! I got to go there before I leave Albania for sure.
Hope you have a great time!
Hi Alina! Thank you for doing good job in bad weather during the winter season☔️ I did not know Albania at all before you getting in, but now I definitely know Vlore is one of the nicest cities in Eastern Europe. Awaiting next one released soon😁
Thank you! 😃 It is a really lovely city!
@@AlinaMcleod Vlora is having a massive reconstruction. The work has just started, big projects in place. That deserted beach with nothing behind it, will turn into a nice boardwalk just like the other part of Lungo Mare.
The Port will be reconstructed with nice green areas. Many old buildings will be demolished, especially closer to the historic center of Vlora.
That stupid high building in the Centre it will be demolished and the whole area will be renovated and turn into identity.
If you'll return to Vlora in 2-3 years time, you'll find a complete different city.
Vlora used to be called the Rebel City of Albania, a lawless place, the centre of human trafficking in Europe in the 90-s.
Eastern Europeans and Asians have crossed from this town to Italy during the 90-s, the craziest times in Albania.
So, Vlora was quite behind in terms of modernisation, but this helped in a way in avoiding building too much illegal buildings as Tirana and Durresi suffered.
Since then, things have changed. The city is not notorious anymore. Vlora has become lately the place that is changing drastically, more than any other city and it is turning into a touristic destination. Gjirokastra, Berat and Kruja always had a tradition in tourism, Vlora has yet to become one.
For the moment, it is the most promising city in Albania with a colourful future.
Even the biggest aeroport in Albania is planned to be built in Vlora.
P.s Vlora revives itself in summer, it is so crowded you won't believe it.
Many Albanians from Albania and Kosova have bought apartments and half of them in winter are empty. Come in summer and you'll find a very buzzing city.
Especially you were after the New Year in town when usually the whole Albania is quiet and too slow in starting the New Year 's life.( apart from the depressing weather you had).
Really enjoyed travelling with you over the last couple of months, looking forward for travel debrief from mums HQ and seeing more of canada going forward
On November 28, 1912 the first Albanian flag as an independent country was raised in Vlora.
Was there in August 2020 must say that in summer that place comes alive. Will be going again this summer 😄
Thank you for the wonderful content. Stay safe and be well ✌️
Alina ,dont forget visiting Kanina , there is on the top of the mountain above Vlora ...Historic very importen village but you allso get an amaizing weu af Vlora ...
Thank you very much for visit Vlora.
But is better to come here in spring or summer time because is very beautiful and nice weather.👍👍.
EXCELLENT Transition Segment @ 8:38 ! ! Thank you ! ! (for Sharing). :)
Excellent video! Thank you so much! Enjoyed it 100%! Looking forward to your next masterpiece!
Hope you had a wonderful time in Albania so far. :)
Thank you alina for make to watch my home and birth place... So many memories......
Albânia um País lindo. Lindas Praias e montanhas. Tenho vontade de conhecer.
i noticed you have dinner so early in the evening, love your videos.
So beautiful ❤️
Looked like a ferry in the background on one of the beach shots. Google maps shows a route from Vlore to Brindisi Italy. Interesting way to get there once things open up!
Yes. It is a ferry that goes from Vlora to Brindisi constantly.
@@liljanasufaj1643 Thank you!
Nice! Very useful for our incoming Vlorë vlogging trip! 😊
Glad it was helpful! Hope you have a great time!
Keep entertaining on your video, Alina!❤️

Glad you like it!
What an incredible video of my hometown.
BEACH IN ALBANIA VLORA VERY NICE PLACE
Hello! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy your video's. I would love to see a little bit of shopping, especially the local artisan items. Thanks so much. Peace!
I see some Italian influences in the architecture of the old town. Vlore reminds me of some Brazilian coastal cities, like Rio, but much safer.
❤️🙏🌟 VLORA
Reminds me of Dameisha in Shenzhen. Enjoy your trip.
Welcome to our Homeland 🇦🇱
Ohhhh I bet you miss it!! You must go in the Summer!
Hello Alina Mcleod I love your streams - Bravo from Canada
Beautiful video
A late video from Алина. I’m guessing you slept in today. You must be having fun. Stay safe. What is the best thing about living in Switzerland? Well, the flag is a big plus.
I’d say its the Interlaken. Then again, like Alina, I’m Canadian and the years in America haven’t much affected my outlook! The weather couldn’t be helped but she made the best of it and painted quite the portrait of the city, which I must add is undervalued. Sad to say the reason for it is in Westerners’ minds, there is still a kind of psychological Iron Curtain about Eastern Europe. Alina is making people hopefully rethink their assumptions. If your country wasn’t so expensive, I’d happily visit it, the tourist trap characterization about it notwithstanding.
14:16 thank you for coming in my neighborhood :)
