Went on a daytrip from Greece. There really isn’t much to see. It’s early in the stages of tourism development and really is not ready for Western tourism. The tours were unorganised and scammed the travellers out of money to go see places (the group chipped in about 60 euros to cover gas to a place a 15 min drive from where we were… gas would NOT cost 60 euros). The locals tended to scam too, overcharging for shottily made crafts and were very aggressive in bringing you off the street. Additionally, they have a different currency and when we got there they switched our money without using calculators, giving exchange rates or anything so I can’t imagine that the Albanians got the raw end of that deal…

I wouldn’t recommend this country, at least for 10 years while they get themselves organised.

But it is really commercialized now… the beaches are still fab and the volcanos and the culture, but it’s expensive and tourist hot spot, meaning that they really take advantage of that fact.

A tropical paradise with so much to offer.
