Albania is affordable and relatively easy to travel around, but transportation doesn't always work the way you might expect. Here's what I learned while traveling around the country.
Local buses and minibuses are one of the cheapest ways to travel between cities. Learn where to catch them and what to expect.
Taxis are available throughout tourist areas. Traveling with a group can make splitting the cost surprisingly affordable.
Renting a car gives you more freedom, but traffic and road conditions are important things to consider before driving.
Most hotels and restaurants accept cards, but small convenience stores often don't. Always carry some Albanian lek with you.
Traffic can get very busy in the morning and evening. If possible, travel early or around midday.
Albanian buses don't always run exactly according to schedule. Give yourself extra time if you have somewhere important to be.
If you're flying into Corfu Airport and your final destination is Albania, here's exactly how I did it.
When you leave the arrivals area at Corfu Airport, turn left and walk a little bit. You'll see the bus stop sign and bus number 15.
Take bus #15, and it will drop you off at the port.
Once you get off the bus, walk past the different stands and continue toward the large building near the big ferries.
Go through the front door of the building. You'll pass through customs/passport control.
Once you're through, you'll be in the area where you can access the ferries.
Once you get to the ferry, simply show your ticket and you can board.
The ferry ride takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Getting through border control in Albania can take a little while after you get off the ferry.
It's usually quite fast, but there can be a queue depending on how many people are arriving at the same time.
Once you get off the ferry, follow the signs and go through Albanian border control.
After you pass through, you'll exit near the port and officially be in Albania! 🇦🇱
