Albania Pros & Cons: A Slow Travel Perspective



In this pros vs cons video I will give you an overview of my slow travel time in Albania in late 2024. I will run through my impressions of the pros and cons of Albania as a travel destination as well as a potential place to hang your hat as an expat resident. I spent time travelling to Tirana, Durres, Gjirokaster and Saranda, so those will be the places I focus on.

Stick around to the end for a summary and final impressions so far.
