I didn't expect at all that Albania can be so incredibly beautiful. In the next video we will continue the exploration, so stay tuned for the next video. Have you ever been to Albania? let me know in the comments down below. ;) Thanks for watching and I wish you a beautiful day!

Holy Sausage, I got exactly the same in Belgium (more expensive, sure, but closer to my place). So why the hell should I go to Albania to find exactly the same things as everywhere in the world?
I'm Albanian and watching these kind of videos with sooo many nice comments from you guys fills my heart with joy . THANKS FOR VISITING ALBANIA AND MAKING THIS VIDEO 😊❤
Im Albanian to i was one time to Saranda i was at a hotel called summer gate the hotel is amazing it 5 starts pls visit Saranda and go to the hotel summer gate
Its such a mess of a country, the nature is beautiful but the beaches are not very well looked after, everything is private and prices are like in other european countries. If you go i'd suggest only going to see the mountains (Balkans) and little more.
I just returned from a holiday in Ksamil, it was absolutely stunning. In fact I am working my way around Albania with our next trip planned in November where we will be staying in the North, a place called Theth. I have visited many places in Albania and can say it is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever visited. ❤️
Thank you greatly and everyone who has been to Albania for showcasing our beautiful nation. We love and welcome all foreigners and we are all so pleased and glad you had a great time. You are always welcome back 🔴⚫. ❤❤❤
Very beautiful. Definitely a country that needs to be promoted more for tourism. I think the Albania tourism bureau needs to kick it up a notch to promote their beautiful country. Stay strong Gabi and God bless.
U have to understand albania have population of 3 million , and every year is visited by 6 million tourists is no way we want more tourists. Is impossible to drive in summertime.+ prices in albania are the cheapest in europe more turist more expensive it becomes
@@Spiritualwarfare587 Tourists boost economy. Also It's expected that 8 Million tourists will visit by the end of this year and numbers are expected to grow.
@@Spiritualwarfare587 Albania is great for tourists but not so much for actual citizens! Hardly any jobs. Pay is low. Resources are being given away to foreign interests. Edi Rama buddying up to Vucic who is from the Milošević school of genocide. Despite that Albanians are some of my favorite people. I was lucky enough to stay in Albania and Kosova during my younger years during my military service. I found that Albanians do what they say they will no matter what! At least the ones I made friends with. Excellent quality people,culture,language (oldest in Balkans),foods, and countryside. ❤️🇺🇸🇦🇱❤️
Very nice video. We did a daytrip from Corfu to Albania in 2013. Also arrived in Saranda, and then it was still very quiet (almost no tourism). The tour guides told us they build many hotels but almost all of them were empty. Seems tourism is growing there now. Also found that Albania has some incredible places and nature. We also went to Butrint and Blue Eye Spring. Was amazing.
Better than Montenegro and cheaper. Now Croatia is beautiful but it is waaaah expensive. So Croatia and Albania is definitely nice. Albania and Croatia are equally beautiful just huge price difference.
In Albania the majority of the beaches are private and full of garbage(especially in bigger cities). Publici transportation is awful which means that if you do not have a car, you can’t get around easily and see much. The sea is shallow and not good for someone who wants to actually swim. In the majority of places credits cards are not acceptable😮. Albania is 50 years behind Croatia in terms of tourism, and most importantly, in preservation of it’s own environment.
@@josipatisaj9630 no its not.. Turkiye is much better then Croatia but I cant say 50 years behind like you are bashing Albania. There is rats and sewer canals going into Croatian waters everywhere
@@josipatisaj9630Croatia is ahead of Albania its true, not 50 years brother relax you are not Greece , from Greece I accept 50 years behind but Croatia no fcking way
Albania is becoming the hub of tourists in south Europe and western Balkans ! Really many tourist seen this year ! Tirana is surpassing even Athina in development index !
albania population 2 milions in 2022 albania got 7milion tourists (3 times more than our population ) and even people from grecce comes to work in albania due to much flux of work
Tian it’s amazing for as long as prices will stay down. Love Tirana but south of Albania it’s hit and miss. Not good services. People try to take the advantage of you in some place.
Come on you compare Athens with a gross national product of 100 billion with Tirana of 10 billion, development index (Hdi) of Tirana is lower than the poorest region of Greece.. Greece GDP 240B Albania 20B
Amazing video! We are from Greece and we visited Albania last summer! We had amazing vacations and we hope that we will visit this country once again in the future! We visited Ksamil, Butrint, Sarandë and Vlore!
Hey it's good to see your video and that is a current interest destination For myself... Always great to hear pricing transportation costs little details like that just give you a good picture especially a accommodations.. Airbnb might be good there.. Beautiful thanks 🙏🙏
I lived in Albania for a year. It's beautiful, inexpensive, has great food and wonderful people. We have lovely Albanian friends and visit often. For me there is a downside. If you are a dog/cat lover this may not be the place for you. There are many homeless dogs and cats that are abused, injured and starved. I spent thousands feeding and caring for them. Unfortunately this is the reason I can't live in this country.
I totally understan where you comming from, i wish they would do more to care for the stray dogs, but the thing is that they are still quite behind in caring for the people, orfans etc. while the country is beautiful, nature is amazing and people are cordial and welcoming, its still a country who is building itself up from brutal communism and then a civil war, and yes still lots of problems to sort out, sadly.
Unfortunately, that's so true. It breaks my heart about the strays animals. I see a lot of improvements from many years ago, so I really look forward that empathy will be embraced by more Albanians and less pets in the street. ❤
I was there for the last two years and am moving there. It is beautiful and the people are more beautiful. Don’t say it’s cheap , that’s is negative , say it’s inexpensive. You get great quality there, food is amazing and the produce super fresh. Remember please say it’s inexpensive.
Just came back from 10 days in Albania and i can tell, that is a place where world is still normal. People are awesome and what amazed me was, that dogs, goats, cows have acknowledge cars and roads, so even in sharpest turn along mountain they keep on side and wait till you overtake them. Makes me thinks, that they are smarter then my country fellas
Beautiful!! ... did you know that the "speed boat" you took is called a Flying Dolphin here in Greece which I love. They were designed in the 1970s and built in the Soviet Union before it dissolved and they have been very old vessels in Greece's ferry fleet but they were hard working and safe! Sadly they are being phased out as they are not very economical which is why you probably find them on these less common routes. I visited Tirana some years ago which is very interesting but the coast looks insanely beautiful, like Corfu.
for extra information, i was at the same beach spot is Ksamil and rented the 2 chairs and umbrella for around $20, but you get that money back if you spend like $50 on food and drinks, which is very easy considering we were there for hours. Also had the best calamari of my life there.
It's amazing how things change. I spent alot of time in Greece & Corfu in 1985/86 & it was forbidden to cross the water to Albania then. There were even police patrol ships & boats patrolling the seas to stop Albanians entering Greece & Corfu. From what I remember people saying, it was because there were problems in Albania over many years & drug exporting was an issue. I'd like to know what year the police ships & boats stopped & both countries opened up to eachother. Beautiful place, thanks for sharing.
No bro wasn’t for that but Albania was communist country and was forbidden to enter tourist from democratic country it was stupid but dictatorship paranoia 😂peace
@@albanodoko9540 Oh thanks for that, I was young & so only went off what others were saying at the time. I remember the police ships & boats in the sea between Corfu & Albania. When I asked why they were there, I was told that. It was also the same time there were problems in Yugoslavia.
Wow.. such a big difference. Yes I also read that until 1992 there was heavy communism in Albania and local citizens were not allowed to leave the country. That’s what kept Albania very poor for many years. I am sure the worst is behind and the years ahead are looking very bright 😉🇦🇱
@@tman5634 In Albania during communism it was the least criminal place not just in Europe but 4th least criminal in the world.We were the ones that didnt allow Greeks to enter not Greeks us.But dictatorship of course was hard for us.
MAMMA MIA! ....MA QUANTO È MIGLIORATO SARANDE!..... SONO STATO DIECI ANNI FA E ALL'EPOCA ERA SOLTANTO UN POPOLACCIO POVERINO... ADESSO È DIVENTATO PROPRIO COME LA COSTA AZZURRA!...DEVO TORNARE, GRAZIE PER FARMI SCOPRIRLO DI NUOVO, GABI
Wow, the scooter price is nuts (high). Considering the condo prices from your other Albania video, and knowing Phuket condo prices (and scooter rental prices there... like 6 EUR/day), the ratios are strange. You would think Albania scooter prices would be around 8-10/day.
Thank you my friend i hope you enjoyed ur vacation yes indeed albania is a lot cheaper than other balkan countries im talking about the Mediterraneans ones
My husband and I are planning to visit Albania in December for the first time. We plan on staying 2 -3 weeks. If we like this first trip in December we’d plan on doing a summer trip there. Transportation: would you recommend renting a car for the time there? Or would it not be worth it. While there we’d like to try all the different foods and drinks, do some sites seeing, and enjoy the nightlife. Do you have recommendations as to where we should stay, and should we move around every 3-4 days to different parts of Albania in order to experience the most while we are there?
I lived and worked in Albania before doing the next contract here in Myanmar. Yes people don't know you don't have to pay Euros for same things as in Greece and Italy. Turkey also great value. It's about 1000Euros a month to live in Albania. Good retireent option and many Italians do that. Everyone speaks English and Italian.
I was this summer in Ksamil ,everything was lovely except the “businesses “ , trying to take advantage and make overpricing everything for tourists on restaurant’s, shops etc, adding extra money on bills etc , this is reality even if you will like it or not…
We, 3 adults one teenager stayed in Saranda for two weeks last year and found it to be as expensive as Turkey,. All the stories of it being cheap were not our experience and we have traveled in Greece and Turkey for more than 40 years. Taxi drivers were shocking, rude/aggressive and trying to charge more than four times the usual fare. We needed them as the Town is very hilly and our hotel was high up. Most pavements were difficult to traverse as they were broken or had things stacked on them. Beach small and not much to look at during the evening. Would not go back
I visited Sarande in 1991 the country was just opening up we were escorted by Albanian patrol boats to the harbour.Well it sure has changed since the days of Ramiz Alia!!
Is Albania worth visiting? Is Albania a cheap place to visit?
I am in Saranda (Albania) and we are going to spend few days together on this beautiful part of Albania. To be honest, I AM SHOCKED! I didn't expect at all that Albania can be so incredibly beautiful.
In the next video we will continue the exploration, so stay tuned for the next video.
Have you ever been to Albania? let me know in the comments down below. ;)
Thanks for watching and I wish you a beautiful day!

Why albanian use a greek word saranda for that city?
Holy Sausage, I got exactly the same in Belgium (more expensive, sure, but closer to my place). So why the hell should I go to Albania to find exactly the same things as everywhere in the world?
Is Greek city nothing to do with Albanians..where ever you see a city in the Mediteranean is probably build from Greeks
@Shqiperia "Preveza" originates from the Slavic word prěvozъ, meaning passage
@Shqiperia You dont have any rights Turkalbanian in Greek lands
Happy to see Albania growing strong with tourism!
Cheers from a Italian neighbor.
Italia🇮🇹♥️ Albania 🇦🇱♥️

Im Albanian to i was one time to Saranda i was at a hotel called summer gate the hotel is amazing it 5 starts pls visit Saranda and go to the hotel summer gate
I've never seen a picture of Albania, did not expect Albania to be this beautiful 😯
Same for me.. it was such a great surprise
Why would Albania, a mediterranean country, not be beautiful?
Do you guys assume that only rich countries can be beautiful?
@@GodisMyNo1 pretty much or at least places with tourism, I've never heard of anyone going vacationing in Albania.
@@ForLegalReasonsThisIsAJoke1 Millions go to vacation in Albania, even though it is new to tourism. But for you westerners its only money that matters
@@ForLegalReasonsThisIsAJoke1 Where are you from? Albania has been getting loads of tourists these last few years.
I sold everything and moved to Saranda one tear ago. Best decision of my life .
Do you how to speak albanian

I was this summer in Ksamil ,everything was lovely except the “businesses “ , trying to take advantage and make overpricing everything for tourists on restaurant’s, shops etc, adding extra money on bills etc , this is reality even if you will like it or not…
Cool video man!
I’m currently in Albania right now doing some videos too 🙌🏽
How good is it!
Wow… nice! Enjoy 😉✌️🇦🇱
Why shocked?

Belissima Saranda 😍
Albania Loveable like you 🎉
Great video! What the name of the aribnb?
We, 3 adults one teenager stayed in Saranda for two weeks last year and found it to be as expensive as Turkey,. All the stories of it being cheap were not our experience and we have traveled in Greece and Turkey for more than 40 years. Taxi drivers were shocking, rude/aggressive and trying to charge more than four times the usual fare. We needed them as the Town is very hilly and our hotel was high up. Most pavements were difficult to traverse as they were broken or had things stacked on them. Beach small and not much to look at during the evening.
Would not go back
You are absolutely right. It was cheap years ago.
#1 Albania 🇦🇱
i hope you enjoyed our country!!!
Awesome video 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes I agree and I did not even go to Serande. So I am heading back tomorrow to really appreciate it 🇦🇱🙌😎🇦🇺
I visited Sarande in 1991 the country was just opening up we were escorted by Albanian patrol boats to the harbour.Well it sure has changed since the days of Ramiz Alia!!
