Everyone who wants to visit Albania should watch your videos. You have captured the essence of the country.

[@churchofsatanalbania1468]

The one thing i can say about Albania is.Its not the most organised country,far from the most developed,even further from the most rich,but i can truly say that the people are the real gem in this country.

[@roannedewaard285]

I actually just discovered your channel from your Tirana vlog and I have been watching all your Albania videos since then. Absolutely love it so far! I am going there myself in about a week and I can't wait to see all this beauty with my own eyes.

[@JamesLeithart]

You definitely aren't prepared for all the beauty that Albania has to offer!

[@roannedewaard285]

[@tally1604]

That beach is incredible. Such clear water. And no hords of tourists to crap all over it. Albania is truly the last unhailed frontier of European tourism.

Exactly - its a. good thing the walk is difficult!

Albania beautifull ,rgds from Romania

[@SaraSarita-ej5qy]

I’m albanian and I’ve been to almost every country of Europe and everyone who asks me which country I’d recommend to visit, my answer is always albania. I feel like albania kinda has all the things of european countries mixed up (nature,places,culture, etc) and it also has a lot of traditional things. If y’all want to have a great experience but also a culture shock albania is the right destination Can’t wait to visit albania next month❤️

[@johnavlakiotis]

Yes I like traditional albanian things specially the high quality Albanian hashish.

[@tiptipperson1721]

By traditional albanian culture do you mean traditional Turkish culture? Or traditional Arab culture? Albanian culture is the culture of collaboration and treason. It's the culture of the Quisling. Albanians are nothing but arabs.

[@kingjulian904]

@@lemfarba4827 Albanians are autocthonous in that area...we never attacked another population...we never conquered a country. Which DNA have proven it? That shitty chauvinist "myheritage" thing? Lol hahaha. We are one of the purest Europeans people...whites, blondes etc. Your people are a lot darker skin that proves that you are either Egyptians or Aromans...

lem farba ohh you dumb dumb we’re like one of the only nations who belong to illyria not like jugoslavs who came from the kaukas not like the turkish or arab ones who tried to battle us down for more than 500 years, our language and a lot of other stuff proves that we have nothing to do with kaukas, gipsies, greeks, turkish or arabs Maybe there’s some traditions left from their settlement but thats all

[@kmwaritz]

Albania looks beautiful! I feel like it's not a country you hear too much about, but it's on my travel list now!

[@dewaynewestmoreland3773]

Looks like a beautiful place. Those mountains are gorgeous.

[@libofsharaku]

The reason they do not widen the road to gjpe beach is because they want to discourage people from overcrowding it, they want to preserve the natural beauty, as soon as you build a road to it it will be flocked by cars and rubbish everywhere, the government recently cleared out all of those bars and restaurant and people charging for sunbeds, its supposed to be a place you hike to and sorrounded by pristine nature. There is a stunning monastery up above the cliff face engulfed by vegetation that i highly recommend as well, its a magical place.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We actually love it for this reason!

[@lefterlaci4978]

[@randomperson8162]

Leo Lion why albania got a bad reputation? Because most of you Western Europeans are racist af ( towards all the Balkan and Eastern European countries ) and focus only on the negative part

[@guents]

​@@Leo-gd6jh I don't think it is a question of jealousy. I think it started as xenophobia and nowadays it is just ignorance. I was touring the Balkans by bike a couple of summers ago and when I was in Montenegro a local told me not to go to Albania cause it is dangerous there. Little did he know that I am Albanian :D I didn't debate him or told him where I was from (my Spanish friend said he was from Spain and I think he assumed we were both from Spain), but I just asked if he ever visited Albania and he said no. However, I do think he was sincere in the advice, cause that is probably what he had heard, the ignorance did the rest.

The song in the background was actually Cuban: Buena Vista Social Club - De Camino a La Vereda If you ever go travelling to rural south of England it's pretty much the same - the roads are very narrow, for one car only and if there is a car coming from the opposite direction one of you has to back up into these little pockets to allow the other one to pass.

@@JamesLeithart both, we drive left here in Ireland and in general I try to avoid driving while on holiday. I drive every day to work, spending 2-3hours daily in the car, so prefer holiday without driving. Not sure how well developed Albania is with public transport

[@JamesLeithart]

@@Sandra-from-midagedtravellers ahh that makes sense. It's actually very easy and cheap to get around Albania on public "buses" (which are more like minivans)... but they're not always reliable on timing and typically stressful for people that don't know any of the language.

We've not been coastal in Bulgaria, but from what we've heard its both beautiful and touristy. Probably easier to travel around with public transport, but that comes with more people and not as raw as what we've had in Albania :)
