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.

Albania, a hidden gem on the Balkan Peninsula, offers a stunning mosaic of landscapes, from pristine beaches along its Ionian and Adriatic coastlines to rugged mountains and hills that beckon adventurers. Its rich history is mirrored in ancient castles, Ottoman architecture, and archaeological sites like Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Albania’s capital, Tirana, pulses with vibrant energy, colorful buildings, and bustling cafes. The country’s culinary scene reflects a blend of Mediterranean and Balkan influences, offering delicious, hearty dishes. With its warm hospitality, diverse natural beauty, and relatively undiscovered status, Albania invites travelers to explore its unique culture, history, and landscapes.
