Respekt for Albanian 🇦🇱

I see your name everywhere where Albania is.thanks man🍻🍻👍
@@bracebrace1760 I’m albanian what can I say😄🇦🇱❤️🇦🇱
Man Albania looks really nice. I vote for Albania. Greetings from Bulgaria!!
We're having a wonderful time in Albania. We hope to be able to visit your country soon!
Albania looks way better than anything I would have expected based on popular stereotypes, mostly coming from the 1980s. I must go there one day. Thanks, Alina, you make me learn.
I'm happy to hear that!
this is fact for many developing countries , there are many great places and many not so great places , if you want to portait o country in a certain way you can by being biased.happy to see Albania beating even my own beliefs!
never believe stereotypes until you see it for yourself. Everybody has an agenda and so there's too much propaganda in this world.
Thanx for visiting my beautiful Albania
Michał Szleper what kind of stereotypes have you heard haha
Hi Alina! Tirana is truly a gem! This city, situated in a valley, surrounded by spectacular mountains - only 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Adriatic Sea, is beautiful, colorful, with plenty of captivating attractions. And high-end restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions are inexpensive! Tirana looks amazing! Thanks for sharing this gem with us, Alina!!!
You are most welcome! Your comment holds a clue to the video I'm posting next Monday :)
Are you an arvanites?😃
@@you_and_tirana6056 No, I do not speak Arvanatika or Greek. I was born in Canada to émigré parents from Lithuania. The endings of some Lithuanian names resemble Greek names. But the Lithuanian language is not similar to Arvanatika or Greek. Lithuanian and Latvian are the only two surviving Baltic languages. Thanks for asking.
@@gediminasmurauskas7817 thanks for your information on the Lithuanian names!
Aciu Labai Gediminas 🙏🏼🇦🇱🇱🇹
I literally cried 😭 with the last song of Christmas tree ...
Missing Albania
Tirana is under construction and after few years would be the most modern city in Balkan. Thank you for visiting our country
I can definitely see that happening!
I hope the monuments and cultural sites are preserved!
@@anaramos2802 Tirana is not an old city and of course some interesting things from the past are preserved,, but Albania has some cultural sites from roman era and medieval cities that are very well maintained,, Kruja, Berat, Gjirokaster, Durres, Butrint, etc
@@lane824 yes of course we are balkans,, albanians are the illyrians and epirotes the most ancient people in balkan
@@Alistir_TheChessPlayer Albanians are Greeks who have forgot their true identity
This country sounds lovely. Thanks for taking us to Tirana 💖
My pleasure 😊
Hi beautiful lady
coincidence - the main river in Tirana is called Lana!
Hi there
Bravo Alina, you did good job,I;m prod to be albanian -amerikan,I love Albania.
Me too!
The city is beautiful but being from Hawaii i think i need to be closer to the sea in that country. Definitely want to visit Albania.
The country is small and you can get from the mountain area or if you are in the middle of Albania, you can easily get to the sea in less than 2 hours. The climate is Mediterranean like in Italy or Greece.
@@daron8982 Thank you so much for the information. I want to visit beautiful Albania.
@@Original_fat_cat especially from Tirana, it's not more than one hour to drive to the beaches 💕 I spend my summer there every year and I love it! Greetings from Germany
Albania has incredible beaches just like greece and croatia do because the adriatic and ionian coasts are very beautiful.
But Albania unlike croatia and greece, is blessed with the natural landscape with alps that look just like switzerland but way cheaper.
Wow what a beautiful city! The mountains are so breathtaking.
Hi Alina, Tirana was already on our list of places to visit but after seeing your videos we have booked a week long break in October.
I'm very happy to hear that! Have a wonderful time!
Thanks for sharing your travel tips. The food looks amazing and we will definitely have to try out the cable car!
Thank you so much for this amazing tour! I am Albanian-American and this makes me so happy to see!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That waving flag at 00:41 it takes my breath away. So proud of it.
Much of the early modern architecture is Italian, when Fascist Italy either influenced the country or occupied it. Florestano Di Fausto and Armando Brasini were important architects in the design of the modern city. Post war buildings are from the Communist period. Despite the shadow of totalitarian regimes in the city’s past, Tirana has a unique charm from being a Balkan mountain city and it does have a lot to offer to today’s Western tourists.
Congrats..you know the history well
Being Italian, from Turin, I am very happy to see that Albania is getting a more and more modern country, neverthless mantaining its strong traditions. Your videos are really gorgeous
Thank you very much!
Not too long ago Mussolini invaded Albania.
Albanians fought back viciously ( with weapons of the 1800s) and almost kicked out the invading Italians.
Mussolini's Uncle Adolph had to step in to bail out the Italians.
Different matter, that the next invasion by Italy ................... invasion of Greece was an embarrassing and a humiliating route for Il Duce !!!!!
There, again, his Uncle Adolph bailed out his sorry pasta dripping ass !!!!!!
@@jsbedi60 Terrible reminds
@@gabriellagirardi4741 History can be very painful.
And those who don't learn from History are condemned to repeat it
@@gabriellagirardi4741 on a funny note........my grandfather fought in WW2 in North Africa and later i Monte Cassino.
He told me that they were embarrased to use guns against the Italian army.
The Italian army was so incompetent that my granddad's unit could have chased them with brooms and rolled up newspapers !!!!!
Italian and French troops were very well known for Mass Surrender without firing a shot .
And Il Duce had delusions of reviving the Roman Empire with an army of terrified bakers and Pasta chefs !!!!
Beautiful city! Hope you show us the coastal area too- inspiring to come back from such dark times- definitely an up and coming place, they should be proud ❤️
Thanks! You will like the next video I'm posting on Monday :)
Thank you, I like the slow recording your doing, it give viewers time to capture the surrounding.
Wow amazing video as always. The view from the top reminds me a little bit of Sofia from Vitosha. The cable car, the park and all the area looks great. Thank you!
My neighbours tried and tried to convince me to go to Albania on our roadtrips but I was very hesitant..........now I will be heading there in spring with my Bulgarian roadtrip gang, thanks for the reassuring information. great vids Alina thank you
I'm very happy to hear that :)
So funny how people perceptions vary. In my country visiting bulgaria is considered dangerous, and yet bulgarians hesitate visiting albania
My Scot friends say Albania is one of the favorite countries in Europe
@Nastro Adhesivo less pretentious, cheaper than Italy and an incredibly diverse landscape
Totally surprised that you uploaded two videos a day.
Thank you so much for the enjoyed videos at Tirana one of my favourite part of the world Thank you so much
Yes, one got a little delayed but wanted to put them out as quickly as I could since I have more content coming up soon :)
Very nice video, with beautiful drone shots of the mountains, many interesting glimpses of the sites and local people. the music you pick is always spot on with great editing. I will never see these fascinating places but through your eyes (and other talented people) and lenses, but that is good enough. Stay safe Beautiful Alina!
You are the most beautiful vizitor in albania we love your videos
Wonderful photography&narration,thank u Aleena.
One of the best videos that I ever seen .but Tirana population now is nearly 1 000 000 .anyway love your video
We're coming here soon..So excited! Such a great informational video🙌
WOW, Alina, I'm impressed as well! I had no idea that Tirana was so cool! The food looked very tasty and affordable, and the atmosphere and style of the places you went to was like what I would expect in a very modern city in another part of the world, NOT Albania. The choices you're making for your music just keep getting better all the time dear, I'm impressed! What was the female singer's name that sang that wonderful rendition of 'Oh Christmas Tree'? Very cool! AND I want to say that your video/cinematography of the Christmas lights after dark in the downtown area was truly beautiful, Alina! VERY good work!
Thank you! Not sure about the name of the female singer sadly.
Great video Alina, Tirana looks amazing with all those lights. All you need now is a bit of snow!!
I'm good, thanks! lol I'll take +15 for my Christmas weather.
@@AlinaMcleod Haha, I don't blame you one bit! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your Albanian adventure! Merry Christmas!!
Who goes to Albania? Alina Mcleod does! Nice to see an often overlooked, ignored, and almost forgotten part of Europe. I long to see all the people and places I was warned about when I was growing up. The bad guys were always from Russia, Albania, and many other Eastern European countries. Thanks for showing and sharing our beautiful world with us.
haha that I do. Yes, it is unfortunate these places get labelled as the 'bad guy' since usually these countries are incredibly hospitable and very safe.
ìts easy to understand. Generally speaking, Albanians, if treated rightfully, they are very nice people and hospitable but if you cross the line then they become aggressive af; they're not scared and confront you directly, ending up with some bruises and so.
Same happened to us..we where told all bad things came from the west !!🤣🤣🤣
Uhh hello greetings from Albania! Even though I know Tirana very well and I live there I still am very curious about what other people think about it. I thank you for actually recommending Tirana to people and even calling it underrated. Great video and keep up the good work!
The large n noble hearted Mother Teresa came from here!!
100% true
@nadine correia She was indeed from Macedonia, Albanian from Macedonia.
@nadine correia her family was Albanian but they lived in Macedonia and that’s why she was born there
@nadine correia because more than half of today Macedonia is albanian land from the beginings of time and the population in that land is albanian.
Mother Teresa was more of an illusion of a noble-hearted nun. She enjoyed the suffering of the poor and had questionable medical care practices, encouraged the secret baptism of dying people (regardless of their faith and often without their explicit consent), and misused charity funds.
Great video Alina. Even in Winter and cold weather you made your video look so nice, profesional presentation and pleasant. Great job!
Besides being beautiful, you are very intelligent because your effort and dedication made this vídeo look amazing. Have a nice day
Thank you!
such a nice video! It was a big help thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info very nice job of videoing.
Very good share, Alina!
Nice city and great video, as always..👍👍beautiful and informative
Another excellent video with great insights, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thnx Alina, great tips and commentary. You missed a couple of great spots where you were, but overall it was a pleasure to watch your video!
Thank you for the tips and the cost of this trip, Alina. Greetings from Bali !
Looks really modern and hip!
Thank you for this refreshing insight.
I did a bicycle tour of Albania in the summer of 2019. After the tour was over, I spent a few days in Tirana. I had a fabulous meal at Oda, also got a filling, cheap lunch in the food court of the shopping mall shown in the video. And I went to the supermarket in the bottom floor of that mall, and bought the best-tasting apple I've ever eaten there.
great footage in the beginning!
The Christmas decoration is absolutely beautiful
Love the way you capture and approach every place you visit, Alina! Beautiful video! 😊💖🎄
Thank you so much!
Amazing, thank you!
Tirana ime e dashur ❤ My city when I born and grew up , thank you Alina 👍🇦🇱🙏💚❤💛
Hoi, Alina, what a well done Vid to follow during this Thursday OFF work here. Such a number of places seen by myself, really good. Hope that more people find the way to this city/area, nice people and amazing food options there. Superb.
Hi Alina, +1 with your assessment of the city. Me and my wife are in the city as well right now. The Christmas lights are amazing!!! :)
I’m planning to go see my friend in Tirana in the near future and these videos 1000% make me want to go more! Thankyou!❤️😍
Merry Christmas 🎄 Alina, thanks for the lovely vid
Superb video with insightful voiceover narration and breathtaking drone footage. I'm seriously impressed with the skyscrapers here. Case in point 1:59- beautifully designed with vibrant colors. Major cities like NYC and Dubai come to my mind when it comes to magnificent architecture, but Tirana's up there as well!
I know! I was quite surprised to see the higher structures here since in the rest of the Balkans it has been quite rare :)
Great presentation Alina! Thank you for sharing this video about Tirana, Albania. Happy and successful 2021 to you!!
Thank you!
@@AlinaMcleod You are welcome Alina!
Excellent work
Thanks for sharing this amazing video 🙏🙏👌
gorgeous city and cable car views love it
Thank u so much for sharing these beautiful view
Albania has a very good position if you want to keep it as a base and visit the Balkans. It takes you ( estimated) 2-3 hours to visit whole Montenegro, 4 hours to end up in Dubrovnik ( Croatia), 3 hours to visit Pristina or other Kosova towns, 4 hours to visit Macedonia and 4-5 hours to visit Thessaloniki in Greece.
Or you can stay a night over in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Istanbul and Athens as they are a bit more further away than the previous ones.
With the new highways being built everywhere in Albania and in other neighbouring countries it is so easy to get everywhere these days.
very beautiful scenary Alina
What a wonderful city! Thank you very much Alina.
My pleasure!
Wow, so informative ! Just a fabulous review of a city I knew very little about.
Glad you enjoyed it!
