happy that you liked my birthtown. I am from Vlora and I did not know about the sofra e lakrorit, I will visit that place when I will be back. Actually Vlora is very busy between the 2nd half of july and August, rest of the year is very peacuful there. This is why I am going to Vlora in September!

[@BucketListTravellers]

It was awesome! Yes, you must trySofra e Lakrorit, the owner was lovely and the food was great! Good move visiting outside the peak season. We were there in late May and it was pretty quiet, but still great beach weather.

Very informative, awesome video friends!!! Now I’d like to visit!!! SAFE travels lovely friends!! 💫🙌🏼🥰

[@BucketListTravellers]

Glad you enjoyed it Sun Kissed Krissy, yes you must visit Vlore and Albania, you won't be disappointed! We will say that the public transport is a little harder to navigate than other European countries, but that adds to the sense of adventure!

Grazie per la visione e per i tuoi bei commenti Tèpari. Valona è già la città più bella dell'Albania ai nostri occhi!

Sorry we are just catching up on your videos! What a beautiful city!!!!! The food looked amazing!!!! Great tour guys! ~Cara 💖💖

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hey Cara, always so lovely to hear from you. 🤗 Vlore was really pretty and we LOVED Albanian food! The owner of the restaurant was so lovely and welcoming as well, which only added to the experience. - Jon

[@chasingadeline]

That is so cool that the driver offered to give you a ride with the help of paying for the Petro. It’s always need to talk to the locals he get a good sense of the country and culture

[@BucketListTravellers]

For sure! We were a little skeptical at first, given that he was also waiting for the bus, but we put our concerns aside and literally went along for the ride! We experienced nothing but kindness and hospitality from Albanians.

[@christianschadler3852]

We are at the moment in Vlore and can only agree to your experience. Fantastic place with perfect mix of town and beach… friendly people simply everywhere and really good food. Mountains all around - perfect! Thank you for your video!!

Hi @christianschadler3852, we are so glad to hear that you are having a great time as well! It was such a pleasant surprise for the both of us. We didn't know what to expect and isn't typically on the tourist trail as much as other cities in Albania. Thanks for watching!

[@helennuttall]

Thanks for showing us Albania guys, I’ve been surprised how different the beaches/coastal towns appear to be from Croatia, when it’s not much farther south than Dubrovnik. I thought you were never going to get chance to eat your share of the food Jay!! 😂

[@BucketListTravellers]

🤣🤣 I didn't think I was going to get any either! It was agony just recording Jon eat and have to wait for Jon to finish! Yes you are right, the beaches do have a different feel to them than Croatia. Another thing that we didn't mention in the video was that there is a lot more litter on beaches than in Croatia, which is a little off putting. The best beaches though are still to come, just wait until next week when we show you Himare, this place was amazing!

[@helennuttall]

I’ve pretty well made up my mind that I will be visiting Vlorë in the next 6 months based on your wonderful info and narrative. It seems to be hitting so many of my ‘buttions’!!! Thank you so much. Do you have any specific contact info o. Where I could begin the pensioner resident process? I had a great time exploring Vlorë with you. 🎉❤

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi FreeRadical1, nice! As we always say, best to try before you buy. We were also pleasantly surprised by how many people speak English here too. Unfortunately we don't have any more specific info about their residency programs. Good luck with it!

[@danield3257]

The title I would say doesn’t fit Vlora Vlora is not underrated is one of the most beatific places of Albania taking into account the region :) Thanks for the video

[@BucketListTravellers]

We definitely agree with you that it is one of the most beautiful places in Albania. It was a pleasant surprise for us as we hadn't read too much about it before we had arrived and most KZbin videos we watched on Albania focused mainly on Tirana, Durres, Skhoder and Saranda. Thanks for watching Daniel!

[@caioreis7456]

Awesome video! But it was quite tough to be watching the food part whiteout being able to take a bite…hahah that looked delicious! Haha However, I am thinking about staying in Vlöre for 1 month in April, would you recommend or do you think it gets boring?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Caio, thanks for watching! We would have happily stayed in Vlore for a week and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants, beaches and other sights to explore. A month might be a little long though if you are just sightseeing, however if you are a digital nomad then we think it is a good base to stay and cheaper than Tirana (food and accommodation).

Can‘ t just belive those prices for food and accomodation! They must be at liest twice higher If they were correct than we as kosovars must complain. Correct is that it is a beautiful place and nice people❤😊

Hi Ilir, are you saying the prices we paid were twice as high as what you would expect to pay or were half of what you would pay? We thought it was all very cheap! Yes it is a beautiful place and nice people! Thanks for watching!

it depends by the time of the year you go. I brought my Polish friends for fixing the teeth in february and we paid 20 euro per night for accomodation for an appartment with 5 beds (we were in four, so 5 euro per person). The owner told me that same place in august is rented for 80 euro!

😂. Thanks FreeRadical1! The cost of living is very low relative to other European countries. We were staying in very new and comfortable accommodation for around 30EUR/US$ and meals would cost less than 20EUR/US$ for the two of us. The cherries were the most amazing at 1 30EUR/US$ a kilo (2 pounds)!

The bedè (sp?) may also be a function of the Muslim community. Ask around a find out.

[@roshiroshi1240]

No no nothing to do with that. It's only because of the Italian influence. Bidet was invented in France but they don't use it at all. It's only widely used in Italy and Albania.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for clarifying Roshi Roshi. Yes that was our suspicion too. We always thought that bidets were French but found it strange that we only came across them in both Italy and Albania!

[@BucketListTravellers]

There might be a muslim angle to it in other countries. In Malyasia, hoses that function as a bidet are the norm. However it may just be a co-incidence that hoses are used in a Muslim country. Hoses are common throughout SE Asia.

[@roshiroshi1240]

@@BucketListTravellers I don't know what are they used for in muslim countries, but in Albania { I've never seen one in Tirana } they might be used just to wash the WC. I'm sure you thought those hoses are for the same reason as the bidet, but they are not. They might be used to fill some buckets or other things 🤔. I'm just guessing, because I'm sure they can't be used like a bidet. Not in Albania at least 😂

[@freeradical1567]

Do many businesses etc in Vlorë accept / operate in Bitcoin or Monero or Tether etc? That is definitely a question on many traveler’s minds, especially if one is considering another location for a pension residence visa etc. Might be something you will want to work into your presentations(?). Anyway, I LOVE❤ you guys and the way you work together and present. BTW, do you accept donations in Monero (cryptocurrency) or other cryptos?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi FreeRadical1, this is something we didn't observe when in Vlore. It is a good tip to keep in mind, so we will pay closer attention to the use of crypto in various locations. Central America was increasingly using crypto for payments when we were there and El Salvador in particular has bitcoin as official currency now! We don't currently have anything set up for accepting crypto at this stage, thanks for asking though! Do you have any suggestions for platforms we could use? We've only got paypal at this stage (www.paypal.com/paypalme/bucketlisttravellers).

You didn't do your research, vlore in "underrated" for good reason and is a town of unusual business

[@erzonca558]

@@BucketListTravellers Hi guys! I went to Albania but shortened the holiday to 10 days because it was the worst destination I have ever been to. Apart from Sarande which has some potential as a seaside resort, it is not to be recommended. They have a huge problem with bacteria E. Coli contamination due to sewage going directly to the sea water. My friends suffered. Take a look for example at the Lungomare google reviews. There is garbage and terrible smell absolutely everywhere at the beaches and in the towns. Even the picturesque Ottoman villages are full of garbage and stray dogs. Roads are full of dead animals rotting in heat (from cats and dogs to donkeys and cows!). Albanians drive like madmen and there is no code of the route. The more expensive car has priority. I could go on like this forever frankly. Of course there is literally no food for vegetarians (I lost 2kg). And everything is much more expensive than Greece or Croatia, yet there is no comparison about the level of service and quality of goods. I have never been so happy to come back from my holidays.

@@erzonca558 Your experience sounded horrible. Very surprised to hear that the prices were more expensive than Croatia and Greece. Sounds like you need a recovery holiday from the holiday.

Bidets are popular because of Muslim ethnicity

[@BucketListTravellers]

Ahh, that makes sense! After being in Italy recently and noticing it was very widespread there, we assumed it was due to the Italian influence. Bidets are very common in Malaysia too, also a predominantly Muslim country.

[@shaclo1512]

but in Albania it has nothing to do with religion, it's cultural all over Balkan to use bidets or water to clean your butt instead of just toilet paper.
