Everyone told us NOT to go! | Traveling Albania | Sailing Sunday Ep. 23

[@denikoka5899]

Albania is one of Europes best Gems!!

[@AP-iy9ho]

2:31 Albania IS a European country but NOT in the European Union...yet

[@SailingSunday]

Alf Per oh yes, we should have explained it better! Sorry guys!!! ☺️ we have been so excited to show these next few videos of Albania it’s so amazing!!!

[@AP-iy9ho]

It sure does look amazing!

[@Leo-gd6jh]

Love the country so much been there few times and oh my God is so safe as well , I went to Tirana and people so friendly too , cheap, nice ❤👍

[@AscensionOfTheEagle]

the irony that EUROPE was an ancient word coming from the mythology of ancient Epirus. now the so called europeans ban us from our own continent. define irony!

[@AscensionOfTheEagle]

@Running lion agreed

[@jez987s]

Albania looks an awesome destination with nice restaurants and fabulous water.

[@SailingSunday]

It's great!!! Wait until you see the next videos coming up :) Having so many people telling us not to go, I am so excited to share this country with everyone!

[@jez987s]

Sailing Sunday , can’t wait. Meanwhile do watch out for any roaming nuts.

Hey Ryan, how does the furling mainsail go for the cruising life?

[@SailingSunday]

Great, I wouldn’t ever change it, along with electric winches it’s literally just open a clutch, push a button to furl, unfurl & reef all from inside the cockpit. If we were racing with crew it would be a different story. We have jammed it a few times though but it’s always been from laziness when I don’t turn to wind to furl...

[@26862]

@@SailingSunday thanks for the reply mate. Fellow Aussie looking to do the same thing as you. Been daydreaming about it for a few years now but just need to get the savings together and bite the bullet! Found your vids recently and enjoying them! Matt

[@RickFuhrmann]

Brittney your looking amazing, big change from the first video. FYI I chew on my cheeks too😂⚓️🌴💜

[@robbierv5005]

Hi guys! Enjoying your videos, you are so fun and Jackson is sooo cute. 💙 Was it hard to do check in and check out on Albania?

[@SailingSunday]

It's Easy, you need an agent though like in Turkey, We used a lady from Saranda Summer Tours, back then I think it was about $50 and they just do everything for you. We checked out up north, Saranda organized it for us or gave me the details to call for the check out a few weeks later and was about the same cost.

[@egzona5149]

I loved Albania and the streets dogs in Albania are adorable and friendly

[@SailingSunday]

Agree! Most of the street dogs we meet are so sweet, and very smart also. A lot of the time they just want love.

[@Jaycexx]

Yes, I was born in Albania but after being 17 years away from my country (I lived during the years Albania was in anarchy) and finally visiting again, I can say without a shadow of doubt that Albania is very safe for tourists. I was ignorant myself before going there, thinking it is not safe to visit (this is largely due to many Albanian immigrants talking down to their own country out of ignorance). Everywhere that I went, people were friendly and welcoming. I would not recommend to live there due to the economy, but as a tourist, you can enjoy Albania safely and for cheap. I do have to say though, tickets are expensive due to there being only one airport in Albania. I have heard talk about a second airport on the way, but I do not know much of it.

[@SailingSunday]

We loved Albania both times we visited ! and felt safe everywhere we went.....I think once people start to catch on it will end up with a booming tourism industry :)

[@cathyryno4542]

I have only wonderful news of beautiful views, wonderful hiking, the people I have met from Albania are always of the very sweetest people I have met! Of course, they are ones who have come to USA. I wish too see Albania 🇦🇱 too and see for myself. Lol 😂 we were close when in 🇬🇷 Greece. Not really!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

G'day guys I'm still watching haven't missed one yet. Just been stuck in the grind wish I was sailing or adventuring or something. Got my annual dirt bike trip coming at least. Keep having fun speak soon.👍

[@SailingSunday]

Hey mate! Thanks for your support!!! :) I'm glad you're enjoying them. Will you be taking Alex with you yet on his bike!! haha!!!

[@rbjk]

9:14 as an Albanian I’ve never understood why every foreigner says that our “yes” and “no” gestures are reversed because they’re not😂 I nod my head up and down to say “yes” and left to right to say “no”, it’s the same.

thnx guys enjoy my lovely country

[@SailingSunday]

Thank you! its such a beautiful place!

[@epidamn_bc]

I hope you have fan thanks for going to see who albanian is

[@mattshipley570]

I cant wait to travel the albania/kosovo/north macedonia region. Looks like such an under rated part of europe. I have been to croatia and montenegro which where both stunning too

[@SailingSunday]

Very under rated! Yes, in the sailing community everyone told us to just go straight to Croatia and Montenegro and not to go to Albania! But Albania was one of the best places we visited, so beautiful and the people were awesome!

[@larglind]

I can’t understand why would someone say don’t go to Albania 😩

[@SailingSunday]

I know, we loved it!!! 2years later we still get emails and messages from other cruises asking us about Albania saying how others said it's not safe to go and we can't understand it... I think it has more to do with the fact there's no marinas and there is a "MINE FIELD" section along the coast on the nautical charts, it just scares many people in the yachting community away. We highly recommend Albania to everyone!

[@CHRIS198490]

How does your dog 'do his business when duty calls'? Where does he go? Is it a good idea to have some fake grass on the deck for him?

[@SailingSunday]

Yes, we have fake grass on the bow for him, but he only uses it on passage. Most of the time we try and do day trips because of Jackson and usually stop off for lunch too. We do spend a day or 2 at anchor and edit videos too and he gets off the boat 3-4 maybe even 5 times on those days at anchor.

[@liamsolomon9122]

Albania is beautiful! Me and my wife want to go as soon as things open up again. Were currently in Macedonia, let me paraphrase that, we're currently stuck in Macedonia! Loooool its okay its okay, my family is Albanian but their home is here in Macedonia. Me and my wife are thinkin of buying a place in Albania but we'll see. Thanks for the video though man

[@SailingSunday]

Yes so beautiful! It would amazing to explore this part of Europe more if we had more time and money (I mean hard/expensive to travel to certain places with our dog Jackson)

[@liamsolomon9122]

@@SailingSunday true, but its somewhat hard to enjoy things right now when everything is closed apart from grocery stores. Its not that big of a deal right now but i do miss the restaurants and cafes. Macchiatos here are just way better than the ones in the US. In my opinion, basically i just miss it. Here in Macedonia the government issued statements about opening things up slowly so the same may be for Albania. Cheers

[@traveler9283]

North Macedonia to correct you for the name.Macedonia is a greater geographical area spread in three different countries..

@Sailing Sunday -that head shake meanings u got there are completely wrong, we use head shake in the opposite way [up-&-down means YES] [left-right means NO] maybe u got it wrong...

[@SailingSunday]

We had mixed reactions. I actually never really worked it out until someone told us that and then I thought back to when the security was nodding left-right but saying yes!?

[@User12345fan]

That’s so sad when you said that about the hundreds boats in Greece and you being alone in Albania, matter of fact, it should be the opposite, the unesco sites are in Albania and not Corfu. The cheaper prices are in Albania. Albania is safer than Greece. It makes me mad.

[@leo73323]

Where the police? No need in Albania, You safe. Feel free, Good vlog, Lovely dog, Cheers.

[@SailingSunday]

thank you! :)

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video

[@SailingSunday]

Thank You!

[@albaniandevil108]

Who said to Not go in albania because everyone in every country is welcome in Albania!

[@SailingSunday]

Yes its a beautiful country! Many Sailors skip it on their way to Croatia because stories are told that its not safe, the navigation maps show unsafe areas with unexploded submarine mines and told we can not anchor anywhere (which is not true). We sailed there, and found it was the total opposite. Hopefully our videos show how beautiful it is in Albania, we loved it there!

[@roshiroshi1240]

😂 that is not a police car. At least not the state police. They’re some kind of municipal police that don’t carry guns and have to deal with stray dogs and car parking. As for the safety Albania is one of the safest countries in Europe but the movie Taken has destroyed our reputation 🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂

[@SailingSunday]

Roshi Roshi I thought the cop car looked a bit sketchy 🤣😂. To be honest, we were a bit uncomfortable initially to go as we heard so many rumors about Albania and yes, that movie 😜😂!!! But boy were we wrong. Such an amazing country!

Sailing Sunday yes the Aussie accent is a hard one. But I think the kiwi accent is not. And Scottish is mostly mostly hard to understand. So are you in Australia now.

Have you been to Cyprus Sicily Malta Ibiza Corsica yet? Hope you stay well. Love the dog. I am stuck in Chicago for the rest of my life. I retired early sadly. Peace and good wishes to you your wife and the dog.

Mike Poznanovich We’ve been to Sicily and Malta, was heading to Cyprus but this pandemic has probably stopped us. We will head to Portugal to and back to Malta on the way out. I had no idea what Turkey would be like but despite this virus going around it’s quite beautiful. I want to sail up to NYC and would love to visit Chicago and see an NBA game! I hope we can get there one days. I hope all is well for you, keep safe and healthy over there.

Albania isn’t a European Union country, it is however a European country. The girl said it wasn’t a European country. Know more facts about a country before you say stuff.

Yeah we meant union... Tell me this though, is Turkey in Asia or Europe?

@@SailingSunday very clear answer.....Asia! the balkan counties have turkish influence due to the history. albanians have very clear european gens. They dont have anything to do with turks.

[@ridvanjakupi1521]

@Sailing Sunday I watched many sailing videos where people travel around the world. Your title and your judgment about Albania shows how unprofessional you two are. In this video there are so many things that don't portrait Albania. It is shame that you did not interact more with locals to learn a thing or two. P.s. Ketchup does not taste like ketchup!? Seriously? Hahahah. If you are going to a new country with that many judgments you will never going to see it the way it is.

[@SailingSunday]

Ridvan Jakupi Many sailors here in Europe told us not to go to Albania because they assumed it was dangerous etc etc etc, (hence the title) but with no Judgment went anyway to see for ourselves and found it beautiful and loved it in Albania... We did in fact sit with locals and learned the History and loved It. I think you may just misunderstand the title and skipped through the video, we also have more videos on Albania 🇦🇱
