[@jerryjorts4050]

Hi Dany! I wanted to inform you that Albania DOES HAVE A DIGITAL NOMAD VISA. You can apply for what is called a Unique Permit. The Unique Permit allows remote workers to live in Albania for up to a year, with an option to request an extension for the second year. After the second year, they can extend it for five more years. After that, they can apply for permanent residency. Hope this was helpful. Great video!😁

I've been in Albania last year 2022 I was alone so I rented a car and I start roaming from Tirana to Vlore for about 4 days after that Saranda and Ksamil and the blue eye spending one week over there it was amazing.. then I went to Berat and Gjirokaster spending two days in each one exploring.. then I returned to Tirana to change the car with 4x4 and head to Shkoder which is a small city in the north of Albania to start my trip to Theth and Valbona ( villages ) in the Alps of Albania as they say.. spending another week in the idyllic fairy tale villages. and to have the perfect closure to my trip i went to the small city of Pogradec to spend two days at the small nice beach of lake Orhid which is divided between Albania and North Macedonia. believe me guys that was the trip of a life time. So thank you Dany for the valuable information and inspirations which started this trip in the first place and could lead to a better one.

[@illyriusk3919]

Small history correction: Ottomans occupied Albania between 14-15 century. Most of the castles predate from 2000 to 3000 years and that was the Illyrian Epirote era. Than it was under the Roman and later Byzantine Empire for more than 8 centuries.

Interesting that you use the word *occupied* when it comes to Turkey/Ottoman Empire but refrain from using it when you mention the Byzantine Empire or the roman empire. Be happy Turkey is helping Albania against fachist Greece and Serbia.

who gives a sht about starlink... There is WIFI everywhere..like EVERYWHERE ! FREE . Also... SIM - DATA PLAN is really cheap and works like a charm. Believe me .. Albania excels in : 1. Hospitality (Guests are like SAINTS), Coffee BAR (nr 1 in the world, population wise) , Celular-Wifi and many more. One small caveat .... Money.. we often use /say adding a zero.. instead of saying 100 lek (1 euro) we say 1000 lek. pay attention when driving especially in big cities like Tirana, Vlora, Durres, Saranda... and dont mess with the man's women.

People keep calling albanian citys Ottoman like w t f, albanians were there for centuries,they have fighted to keep for them this Beautiful places, what has that to do with Ottomans or Greece?

[@Diana.K-rm4gm]

In term of style since most of the cities were burned /destroyed ruined by the Ottomans and then while some disepeared from the face of the earth , some of them were rebuilt more in a ottoman style of architecture which is more visible on the cities like Berat, and Gjirokaster to a certain degree, and in Tirana old ottoman houses as well. Then again we still call it Berat (and while some say it refers to Belgrade some say is Turkish, I have no idea which one of these is true but in any way is not an Albanian name and we should have renamed it to it's original name, as well as a lot of other places but what we do instead we still continue to name places with names from other countries to this day, this is my personal opinion anyway) when the ancient Ilirian name was Antipatrea, so we have our part of the guilt for not preserving well our names, traditional culture and architecture etc.And being under the Ottoman Empire for 5 centuries is inevitable. But truth be told Every country has taken and been inspired from other countries in terms of architecture and other cultural aspects. Good things are meant to be shared, the bad on the other hand is better not to mess up with, and hopefully we will be wise enough to tell the difference between the two in the future

[@RadiantStar8997]

@@Diana.K-rm4gm Albania is one of the few countries in the world where different people respect differences in culture and religion e.g. Muslims, Christians seem to live together well. This video shows the beautiful architecture from other cultures blended together. The tall modern skyscrapers aren't particularly attractive but the mountain scenery is majestic as a backdrop. As you say, we can all learn from each other, other lifestyles and adopt the good in each.

I checked out some statistics about tourism in Georgia and Albania and The numbers are significantly higher in Albania.Albania is reaching 9 millions foreign tourists this year.Yes,there are certain seasons that you will see less tourists but this happens in Croatia as well which is super touristic country.I've been in Croatia,in Zadar precisely, winter time and i must say you cannot see a single tourist on the streets. Albania is the same.

Haven't you heard that Albania was visited by 7.5 milion people in 2022, and already 9 milion as we're talking in 2023 ( 10 milion expected for 2023 ). By the way ,that's double the number of tourists that visited Georgia, but yet you feel like you've seen only a couple of tourists in Tirana 🙄. Only the number of italians that visited Albania in 2023 until now,is 660 thousand, according to both italian and albanian statistics.

Yes. It gets quite cold inlands high on the mountains. You can probably even ski even though skiing lanes are not built well. At the cost especially in the south it never gets really cold. Like never really below 10 c and most of the the time 15 c in the winter. Summer from 30-40

[@RadiantStar8997]

Thank you for this video showing us a beautiful country not marred by tourists yet. Hopefully, it will stay free of Starbucks, Costa and McDonalds for a while. The skyscrapers are an ugly drawback against the mountains. It would have been nice to see new buildings which respect the old style and blend in better. Great to see a country where different religions blend and live peacefully.

Tirana is absolutely full of nice looking young women (in their 20s), but they seem to disappear at night. Bars are mostly full of dudes. I confirmed this perception with a few other expats there after a month in the city. Only issue is that Albanians hang with - and generally only date - Albanians. Dany touches on a few of these subjects in the sense that Albania is very Albanian.
