Planning a trip to Albania can get overwhelming fast, especially when youâre trying to figure out whatâs actually worth visiting, how to connect places together, and which route makes the most sense.
I lived in Albania for 8 years, mostly in the south, and this guide brings together my favourite places, practical travel tips, and ready-made routes to help you plan your trip with way less stress.
Inside, youâll find 420+ pinned locations across Albania, including beaches, villages, viewpoints, restaurants, cultural stops, day trips and hidden gems, plus ready-made itineraries depending on the kind of trip you want to take.
Start with one of the three main routes: the classic 7-day Albania itinerary, the Albanian Riviera itinerary, or the North Albania itinerary. Iâll continue updating this guide with even more routes and recommendations, so youâll always have an easy place to come back to while planning.
