WAS IT WORTH IT? | TOUR OF SARANDA ALBANIA & SURROUNDING AREAS 🇦🇱

[@waysoftheworld_]

What did you guys think of Sarande?? Is it your style?? Thanks so much for watching our videos guys ❤

[@shirleyjcwealthteam5331]

I was there in July from Corfu. I love it there in Saranda. I went to Ksamil and Butrint National Park. I will come back for sure to live longterm. Nice people and slower and cheaper than Corfu!

[@waysoftheworld_]

It's so nice right!? We had a blast and we loved the vibe! Never been to Corfu but I can imagine it being so much more expensive 🙈

[@mabelmayorca1562]

I love the Albanian riviera, but what I like the most is how affordable is to enjoy a nice vacation 😍

[@waysoftheworld_]

Us too!! ❤️

[@westq2]

It's so expensive now 😢

[@mmccormi1]

you are quickly influencing our next vacation destination with that location and price! Great video!

[@waysoftheworld_]

[@ervisbalaj1930]

Absolutely loved it ❤️ the humor is best ,and albanian as is my home nice to,enjoy ur stay guys

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thank you! We love Albania 🇦🇱

[@LesGeonautes]

The Albanian riviera is so incredible value for money! We preferred Ksamil to Sarande though (off season)

[@waysoftheworld_]

AGREED! We went to Ksamil one day just to take a look and we also liked it better! :) It was June when we were there and it wasn't crazy busy, which works great for us!

[@JustUnthinkable]

Thank you for providing us with a bit of the world in these travel videos. I love how children are out playing on the promenade. Albania looks just so beautiful.

[@waysoftheworld_]

It's always so nice to see kids playing right? 😍 So happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. We fell in love with Albania 😍

[@janewicks9740]

Loved it!! The Blue eye is really stunning...Wim would be happy! Such a nice apartment too xx

what a whirlwind of emotions in Sarande - epic views -> getting scammed at the supermarket -> the beautiful Blue Eye -> a 7 dollar / 30 second ferry ride -> one of our best meals in Albania!

An other great video guys.. looks like you are having a lot of fun there.

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thanks so much!!! We really fell in love with this country ❤️ Has so much to offer!

[@loredanachiriac1]

Very nice video, full of useful information. The city of saranda looks really beautiful, full of life. And the view from your apartment...amazing. a pity that was so noisy in the night. Do you have any idea how the city looks outside the summer season? Is there anything to do there, to go out and enjoy life? How are the prices there in comparison with the rest of the country?

[@waysoftheworld_]

Hi Loredana. Thanks so much! :) That apartment was great and especially for the price, but it was intense. We did not sleep. The solution is to go out and party every night 😂 To be honest, I don't think there's much to do in Sarande if it's not warm, since everything revolves around the water and waterfront, sitting outside, etc. And in terms of prices, it was a little bit more expensive but not too much to be honest. You will notice in Albania that vegetarian food is super affordable everywhere, but anything with meat will be almost like US prices (and not the best quality in a lot of cases). Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other Q's. Happy Sunday!!

[@waysofstyle_]

Missing warm weather right now! It’s so rainy and cold where we are 😭

Hiya! In Vlorë and heading to Saranda tomorrow. Helpful tips on what part of town to look for lodging! And hope to find the wonderful restaurant too! As always your videos are wonderful even the second time watching!❤❤

[@waysoftheworld_]

Hope you were able to find that little restaurant - we loved that place! Have fun in Lin 🙌 It's a little piece of paradise.

[@pambriand757]

Unfortunately hubby got sick and didn’t make it to Lin. Heading out for his first meal in 5 days!!!! Had a nice quiet ‘recovery week in a sweet apartment. Good to be flexible in the plan…

Very well done

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thank you!

[@albusha5150]

Sorry you guys had some bad experiences in Saranda. Yeah, you're not the first ones. Actually, there is a discussion in the media and government level as to how tourists are robbed from some local businesses in Saranda and elsewhere and they are striving to get solutions. One is to educate those people that it is in their disadvantage as it will discourage tourism in general and thus it will be their loss in a long run. But can't believe you didn't have a splash in that public beach in Saranda and at the Blue eye. If you were at the peak season July and August yeah $75 was a good deal for the money rest assured. If this was in September yeah a bit much. Every video I watch from you just wow's me. Wonder how you can compare Albania with Venezuela! Cheers

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes, I think education is key. We were so so upset when it happened honestly, and little things like that really affect tourism. We experienced this in Mexico as well and it really left a bad taste in our mouths. It sucks because 99.9% of people in Albania are OUT OF THIS WORLD NICE and then there's people like that lady who do not think about the future... anyways, we hope it changes. It is nice to hear that something is being done about it! And about Albania and Venezuela... so many things! 2 beautiful countries, with so much natural beauty and with very special people but unfortunately safety is a big problem in Venezuela and of course, corruption :( We truly hope the corruption in Albania slows down a little bit because we would hate for Albania not to become what it should. It's a very special place everyone should know about and visit ❤️

[@lionofjudah4114]

Hi. We liked Albania. We visited lot of places. Vlore.. Berat. Kruje. Durress . And Tirana. We went up dajti mountain also. So lovely. Can I ask u why u don't now eat seafood. We dont eat it anyway but I couldn't understand what u said as to why u dont eat it now

[@waysoftheworld_]

That's awesome! Sounds like you had a great trip :) We're big fans of Albania too! - We stopped eating seafood because we watched Seaspiracy and decided to stop. We only eat it if we know exactly where it's coming from. We make very few exceptions ;)

[@lionofjudah4114]

@@waysoftheworld_ oh right. You hear that it good to eat it too cos it has zinc in it and other minerals. There lots of food that we get told not to eat or should eat. We just eat fish anyway. Salmon mostly. I had sea bass in tiranna. Which was nice. Are u guys travelling anywhere at the moment

[@jongralph]

whats the name of the apartment and where did you book ? planning next year .thanks

[@Karima_Maghribia]

Which part of Sarande do you recommend that’s more quiet to not deal with the noise at night? I made the mistake to book a month in Malaga in the middle of that and it was a nightmare trying to get some sleep 😭 Thanks!

[@waysoftheworld_]

Hi - anywhere a few blocks away from away from the beach should be fine. Behind friendship park is a good area to look 😉

is it worth visiting in early may or late april?

[@waysoftheworld_]

Hi :) We think so... the water might be very cold, but there will be less crowds and the temperature during the day would be around 70 degrees. We were there in late June and it wasn't very busy and it was very hot. So it really depends on what you like :)

[@lionofjudah4114]

Hi. I would like to ask u is it easy to get the bus from tirana to visit beaches etc . Where do u catch the bus from to go tomthe terminal also. .

[@User12345fan]

Why and how did the lady rob you? Give details else don’t speak. You can literally call the police if you get scammed and they’ll be so helpful to you as a tourist.

[@waysoftheworld_]

She overcharged us like 10X the price, no receipts, cash only. Cool to know you can call the police for that. Her business should be shut down. It wasn't just us, if you read the Google reviews, she does this to everyone! And the reason why I didn't get into details is because I didn't want to spend too much time getting upset again about what happened. It was just a warning for other people not to shop there!
