Fortress of Porto Palermo

Let's go to Tirana, luckily we decided not to make a stop in Podgorica. The only noteworthy thing here is a completely pointless 2-hour stay at the border. When we arrived at...

On our way north, we decided to enjoy the sun by the sea one last time and looked for a campsite because we needed a shower again. ... We continued to Shkodra and then to Koman, a...

Spontaneous deep relaxation after city hustle and bustle

Kruja (translated: Source), high up in the Albanian mountains, is a small town with a great history. Once the center of the first Albanian state in the 12th century, it later...

Today was a long day. Actually, we wanted to check out of the campsite quite early but then we got carried away talking. As a result, we set off with a considerable delay to...

After the city tour in Tirana, we continued westward, back to the coast. The main road between Tirana and Durres is full of potholes, and there are stands selling fruits and...

Last night we had delicious fresh fish and seafood. It tasted really good, but somehow we can't shake the feeling that we were ripped off. The prices we see here in Shkodër are...

It is a kind of people that Lucas and I cannot get used to until the end of our two weeks in Albania. Wherever we go, we meet incredibly nice and warm-hearted people.

We are sleeping in a 4-bed room and when someone showers, the water flows into the room. The price for the accommodation is fine, and we take it as it is. We wanted to undertake...

Came for culture, left with furnishings for the new apartment and a desire to relax.

Today, the 1000m pass, the highest on the Albanian coast, should come. And it did. 700 hm on 10 km. The pass was a real challenge. Today without pushing. Great views of the sea...

Warm, some rain, still have a runny nose. In front of me are the barren mountains of Albania and then - after a few climbs - the border between Greece and Albania. Now I am in...
