Albania

Wild mountains, pristine beaches, and genuine hospitality: your guide to Albania.

Ksamil Beaches

Our Guide to Albania

  1. Flair

    Authentic, affordable, and full of contrasts — seriously unlike anywhere else in Europe.

  2. Best Time to Visit

    May through September for the coast; June through August for hiking.

  3. Trip Length

    Ten to fourteen days for a solid round trip.

  4. Currency

    Lek — pay in cash. Euros are often accepted as a backup, but don't count on it.

  5. Tipping

    Around 10% in restaurants — leave it in cash on the table.

  6. Getting Around

    Renting a car gives you real flexibility. Just know that the roads can be quite the adventure.
