hello, I can’t find tour Sarandë review which you mentioned you would post next. I am planning to potentionally go there this month and would appriciate to hear your impressions, since I really like your content! Is the water clean, is there trash, is it lively and are there any sandy beaches? Which beach/place there would you recommend and how do you rate it from 1-5. Thank you in advance 🤗

[@BucketListTravellers]

We have also put together a Sarandë destination on our website, which you should check out too! jjbucketlisttravellers.com/sarande-destination-guide/

Wow,a great Riviera. A hidden gem,I love to discover places not so famous,sometimes they turn out to be better!.Great video BLT! Saludos mis amigos Tuani!!

Hola Henry! Yes, we love finding hidden gems as well and always prefer going to places that aren't as famous too. This was really heaven. Gracias por ver!

it is no nice to see more and more people visiting albania...we had a hard past but the future seems bright. I left the country with my family when I was 7 years old, wathcing the videos of vlora, himara and saranda you made my eyes wet. thank you for this beaituful video and I hope to see you both again one day in albania. Faleminderit dhe jete te lumture!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Awww, that makes us so happy to hear that you felt this way with our videos. Albania is a beautiful country with a lot of potential as a tourist destination. The people we met were the nicest we had come across in Europe. We hope to visit Albania again one day to explore more!

[@helennuttall]

Ah yes, this is more my cup of tea guys! Rocky outcrops, deep clear water…gorgeous! Don’t mind a few beach umbrellas as long as it’s not crowded! Lovely video.

[@BucketListTravellers]

This was definitely our cup of tea as well! So beautiful and not crowded. The beaches had a different feel to Croatia, but just as gorgeous, if not moreso! Thanks for watching Helen. 😀 - Jon

[@SF-ku2hp]

This may have helped narrow my stay down to here when I visit the Rivera this summer. Looks amazing.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi S F, glad we could help! Himare was one of our favourite spots and in early June we had it all to ourselves!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

What incredible beaches and beautiful town! Love the apartment! The food too looks amazing!! Great tour guys! ~Cara 💖 (We used this same song in our Maui Hawaii video 😂😂)

[@BucketListTravellers]

This appears to be habit of mine! You have very good taste in music Cara! 😀

[@GladysandKenny]

Wow love the way you guys travel. Just like us! Once we are in a country we love to explore it to the fullest! I am saving theses videos because when we visit we have to rewatch these video’s. Another great journey!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Yay! Agreed, we love exploring countries and going to places that aren't typically on the tourist trail. Himare was so beautiful and we were surprised that it wasn't busier. We reckon the best time of year to visit Albania is early June, when it is warm but the summer beach crowds have not yet arrived.

[@Giahomemadeproductions]

Awesome video, guys! Well done. Keep it up! Can’t wait to visit Himare. I will be there in 3 weeks.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi @Giahomemadeproductions, we are so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Have an amazing time there!

[@brandonbp122]

I wish I'd watched this before we arrived. We've only been in Albania a few days, but the first two and a half days I was drinking lots of tap water because I was trying to cleanse my body after drinking so much the week prior. Well I surely got that cleanse! I spend a disconcerting amount of time on the can! 😆

[@BucketListTravellers]

Oh no! We drank filtered water everywhere except for Shkoder. We were in Shkoder for a week and had no issues.

[@sox9123]

But thank you so much for your video and support to Albanian tourism ❤

[@BucketListTravellers]

You are most welcome! Albania is the hidden gem of Europe and has a lot of potential. We loved our time there and the people of Albania were so lovely towards us.

[@ardian6316]

Off season folks, way to busy in the summer months. Still beautiful.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We were very lucky when we were there in early June 2022, it was empty. I'm sure it gets crazy soon after!

Lovely ❣️ We are going this year 🚣 🌴

[@BucketListTravellers]

[@danield3257]

I don’t think you guys realise you’re off season :). Usually is quite busy. I would say best of season cheaper and also you have all to your own :)

[@BucketListTravellers]

😂 Yes, we had got there just before the season had started. It was early June and the weather was really warm too, a perfect time to visit. We were in Corfu a few days later and that was PACKED with tourists already by mid June.

[@user-im5jh8hu9n]

Great video! How did you reach the beaches on the second day (Gjipe, Jala)? Walking, hiking?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching, glad to hear you enjoyed it. We walked/hiked all the way from Himare. It took a couple of hours, but was very scenic! There is a well marked track you can follow, which we found using google maps.

[@jezzag4589]

Thanks Jezza! Yes, we certainly are Aussies!

Hi sanjakeri2998, we are so happy to hear that you enjoy our content! Here is the vlog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6jKfZRjZ6h9odE . The water was clean when we were there (early June 2022) and Ksamil beach just outside Sarande is a sandy beach that you MUST visit!

[@lynetterosario5697]

LOVE the video! How livable is Himare? You didn't say how you got from beach to beach, was it by bus (van)? I looking to retire to Albania on a shoe-string budget, Any suggestions? I don't want a car.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Glad you enjoyed it! We walked from beach to beach. There is a track but it is around 5km. It is definitely possible to live in Albania on a shoestring budget, however the public transport is not well developed. If you retire to places like Himare then you will need to rely on vans/buses that pass through the town sporadically and not always to a schedule. That said, Himare is a beautiful spot to live, it has all the basic amenities you need (groceries etc..) and outside of the peak summer period of July-August, it would be very peaceful.
