Hello! I’m spending 10 days in Albania in August, starting from Sarande then leaving from Tirana. My questions are:

1- is it easy to hire a taxi to get a driver in Sarande? I’ve been to Tirana and know that people use Patoko, and I’ve also hired cards through Green taxi in Tirana . Are these also services available in the south?

2- if you have any general recommendations on where to visit, or any interesting hikes or nature or activities or restaurants, I’d much appreciate it!

Hi! I hope i understand the rules correctly - if not correct me please.

I’m going to Tirana (Europe) for the first time and have a couple things in mind I’d like advice for - hair, piercing and spa.

I’ve done research but curious of actual local opinions. I can be quite specific about my wants so I’d like fluent English and high skill/attention to detail. Thanks!

Hair: I have long, thin hair + old black dye in it. I’m looking for a long layer / volumizing feather cut that keeps my length. As well as a color/bleach (probably baylage) that won’t ruin my hair. It’s my favorite part of my body and hard to get so long 😅 Olaplex, keratin, whatever treatments needed. Should i go to The Bee? Sona Style? Kri? Tesi Hair? Where else?

Piercing: Unsure if I want a double >!cartilage ear piercing or a single (both spots in mind are unique and would need to accommodate a possible second piercing later, so experience is important to me.) MARVI? Heavyink? Red nd black? Despite all my research i’ve gotten plenty of bad piercings in the US!!<

Spa: I would like a luxury experience as I’ve never experienced it before. Salt room, turkish bath, some sort of wrap or body mask like mud or chocolate. Long massage before a 20hr flight! Any awesome experience you guys had - I am all ears!

Thanks for listening! Can’t wait to visit

Hello fellow Redditors. Szukam kogoś kto podróżuje w najbliższym czasie do Tirany na lotnisko TIA.

Potrzebuję pomocy kogoś, kto mógłby podejść do biura rzeczy zagubionych i odebrać telefon. Tak telefon podróżował więcej niż ja i trafił do Albanii, w której nigdy nie byłam.

Jeżeli taka osoba skłonna pomóc się znajdzie i przywieźć go do Polski to z chęcią się odwdzięczę.

Proszę o kontakt bezpośrednio w wiadomości.

Hi!

I am traveling to Albania soon and have food allergies to Tree Nuts (walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts etc) as well as Shellfish (mussels, oysters, scallops, prawns, crab, octopus, clams, etc) and Gluten.

I’ve traveled quite a few countries where English is not always widely spoken. I am planning on driving around Albania and know that might be the case.

While traveling in Egypt I had a friend translate my allergies onto a card that I could give to restaurants if needed. While I only needed to use it a couple times over ten days it was very helpful.

I have used Google Translate to create something similar for this trip, but I would love for someone who is familiar with the language to take a look.

I really appreciate the help in advance!!

I know that so many Balkan dishes contain these ingredients. Especially the desserts which is unfortunate. While I love trying new foods while traveling I want to be as safe as possible. If there is any traditional food that you’d recommend that does not contain my allergies, I would love suggestions as well.

Jam alergjik ndaj arrave të pemëve (arrave, fistikëve, farave të pishës, lajthive, gështenjave etj.), si dhe ndaj butakëve (midhjeve, gocave deti, guaskës së detit, karkalecave, gaforreve, oktapodëve, midhjeve, etj.) dhe glutenit. Nuk mund të ha asgjë që përmban këta përbërës, madje as në sasi të vogla. A mund të më rekomandoni diçka ose të modifikoni diçka për të përjashtuar këta përbërës?

Będę studiować na Politechnice w Tiranie od października - semestr zimowy 26/27. Jestem osobą ekstrawertyczną, zorganizowaną, łatwą w kontakcie i zawsze chętną do poznawania ludzi, wychodzenia i podróżowania.

Jeśli też szukasz miejsca, napisz poniżej, a wyślę Ci więcej szczegółów na priv.

Hi! I’m visiting Tirana soon, and I was wondering if it’s possible to hire a private tour guide in Tirana. Could you recommend where I should look for one?

Hello shpresoj te jeni mire :)
Njihni njerez qe perdorin metoden Carpooling (pra shoferi merr disa pasagjere) qe ben rrugen Tirane-Sarande?
Do ta vleresoja shume ndihmen. Dite te mbare!

I know Albania doesn’t have the dance floor culture that Western Europe has but are there any clubs in Tirana that play Trance or Dance (not boring house or tech house) or EuroDance?

Thanks

Hello. I’ll be visiting Tirana in a few weeks and I’m reading conflicting things about whether or not the bus accepts card payments. Has anyone taken the bus recently and can confirm for me? If it does accept cards, do you pay on the bus or are there ticket machines before you Baird the bus? Thanks?

I was watching the news and apparently some women use this as a tactic to grab fast money. The problem is, this isn’t the West. No one gives a fuck. If you go complain to the police with some bullshit story, they’ll probably look at you like you’re crazy and move on.
Apparently it’s more common in the south, around Himara and Vlora. Pretty sad level of desperation.

Any experience with this rental company? 30EUR/day everything included, no deposit. They sent me terms and conditions via whatsapp and it seems legit. Any experience? We are planning to rent a car for 7 days in September.

By the time I was checking the site, I spoke with the agent on the phone, because every car was listed for 1EUR/day. That seemed fishy, so i called them on Whatsupp, and apparently the site was having issues as they were all sold out for August.

Hello everyone,

After searching about Albania I feel it's like the perfect place to travel, but since it's the first time I want to be in safe side, so is there any young adult travel group or group tour heading there? I'd love to explore the country safely with a team for my first trip, so that on future visits, I'll feel

completely confident and secure exploring it on my own
