Unfortunately, like nearly every place in the world, there are going to be people who try and rip you off because you’re a tourist.

The best thing you can do is to do some research and get to know the prices. In the last year, I have noticed it more in Albania.

I think it’s due to more tourists choosing to travel to Albania and more people seeing the opportunity to completely rip those tourists off by making them pay triple for something.

For example, a taxi from the airport to Tirana should cost around 2000lek. I had a taxi driver try and charge me 5000 for it.
