Here's a few good recommendations before you travel to Albania (a trip starts from the moment you start planning it). Get in the mood, learn a bit about the history and the nature, try a bit of its culture, listen to some music and of course don't come to Albania and say Grazie! We say Falemnderit in this country! If this is too complicated, please see if you can learn: Rrofsh! We shall tell you what those two mean!

In order to give you a more comfortable and interesting trip, we recommend bringing:

Comfortable waterproof walking shoes

Sandals

Raincoat or waterproof jacket

Sunscreen

Bathing suit

Sunglasses

Car sickness medicine (note that if you suffer from getting car sick, Albania and the region are linked with very curvy and windy roads)

Torch or lamp for the nights in the countryside or some of the visited areas

Mosquito repellent

Some cash (for the areas where there are no ATMs – especially in the mountains.)

Definitely read Ismail Kadare books before coming. Start with “The General of the Dead Army,” “Chronicle in Stone” and “Broken April.”

Absolutely recommended: the recently published “Free” by Lea Ypi. Lea took the words out of our mouths. So many of the stories she tells about, are a great tragicomic way of telling the truth about our life in the end of Stalinism and the very first moments after it collapsed. It is a lovely way of illustrating a country that lived in a paradox atmosphere. Thank God, that is all history now. We are trying to make the best out of our earlier sufferings at Albanian Trip.

If you’d like professional insight into Albanian history, culture, literature and tradition. read the works of emblematic Robert Elsie, who left this world at a young age in October 2017. His website is: http://www.albanianhistory.net/

If you’re interested in the very charismatic and eccentric Albanian traditions of the North, you should definitely check out the early-1900s journeys of a young British traveler named Edith Durham (she and her “High Albania” https://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/durham/albania/albania.html is a must)!

See if you can watch “Slogans” and “Dear Enemy” by Gjergj Xhuvani.

Listen to Saze Permeti by different usta (as maestros are called in the jargon of this tradition), various polyphonic singing bands, Eda Zari, Elina Duni, Klodeta Buzi, Shkodra Elektronike, Vlashent Sata or Shkelzen Doli! Ask us for more advice on traditional and modern Albanian music – the tradition goes on, and a great source of information regarding that can be found through the best musicologist in the Land of the Eagles right now, Vaso Tole: http://www.vasiltole.com/English/Index-EN.html

Please don’t leave batteries in Albania. We are not good at recycling them. Please bring them back home and put them in specialized disposal.

We are certainly beach lovers! We like to think that we know a lot of the Albanian coastal but also mountain beach areas which are a must when you visit Albania. That stands to the months of June, July and August but certainly make a lot of sense in September and most often in October too. Do let us take you to some of the famous or secret places whenever you feel the time has come for a swim and more!

A few days ago, National Geographic Traveller published a beautiful article on the Albanian Riviera, written by Dom Tulett after a trip we had the pleasure to organize and host.

It’s not the first time we’ve done something like this—over the past 20 years, we’ve put our time, knowledge, and personal energy into many similar projects. This one, like the others, was fully supported by Albanian Trip’s own funds, driven by our belief in showing the country honestly and responsibly.

While Dom told the story in words, the pictures were sourced separately by the magazine. Still, the journey was very much shaped by our approach to travel—slow, meaningful, and real.

We’re grateful to our partners who helped along the way: Kep Merli, Erald Maknori, Harmony Hotel in Saranda, and others who always show the best of Albanian hospitality.

It’s always a joy to see Albania getting the thoughtful attention it deserves. And we’re always here for curious travelers who want to experience it with care.

It's what Albanian mythological heroes do! Drink milk from fairies breasts and become stronger than normal human beings. Than they start fights with each other, with the enemies, make love, raise children, talk to the moon and the stars! Learn a bit more about the Albanian myths of Muji and Halili! They are absolutely fascinating! We do illustrate our stories with the help of the amazing art of Sali Shijaku!
