Useful Tips

If you have more time on your hands, consider adding a trip to the Albanian Alps, including Theth and Valbona. If you have less time, prioritize the capital city of Tirana and the coastal towns of Saranda and Berat instead. Another option is to skip the National Parks and spend more time relaxing at the beaches.
