Question 1

Do I need a visa to visit Albania?

Accepted Answer

Most Western nationalities — including US, EU, UK, Canadian, and Australian citizens — can enter Albania visa-free for up to one year with a valid passport. Some nationalities do require a visa, so check with your embassy if you're unsure. We'll confirm entry requirements for your specific passport during planning.

Question 2

Is Albania safe for tourists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Albania is generally very safe for tourists. Locals are known for exceptional hospitality, and violent crime affecting travelers is extremely rare. As with any destination, use normal precautions with valuables in crowded areas.

Question 3

What currency does Albania use?

Accepted Answer

The Albanian Lek (ALL). Euros are widely accepted in tourist areas, but you'll get better rates paying in Lek. ATMs are available in all towns on this route.

Question 4

How does the departure work?

Accepted Answer

You have two options: take the ferry from Sarandë to Corfu (30–75 minutes depending on ferry type — we include tickets and port transfer), or we drive you back to Tirana airport (~4.5 hours with a lunch stop). Most travelers choose Corfu — it's quicker and you can fly home from there or extend into Greece.

Question 5

Absolutely. This is a starting template. Want to add a day in Gjirokastër? Swap Berat for Përmet? Extend your beach time? Tell us in the form and we'll adjust everything.

What's the best time to visit?

Accepted Answer

May through October. June and September are ideal — warm weather, fewer crowds, and better prices. July and August are peak season with the hottest temperatures.

Question 7

Is this trip suitable for families with kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The shallow, warm waters at Ksamil are perfect for young swimmers, Berat Castle is an adventure for older kids, and all our transfers are private (no public buses).

Question 8

What happens if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

Our cancellation policy is flexible. Cancel 60+ days before departure for a full refund. 31–59 days for 50% refund. We'll share full terms in your proposal.

Question 9

Do people speak English in Albania?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially younger Albanians and people in the tourism industry. You won't have language issues in Tirana, Berat, or Ksamil. We also provide a local SIM and 24/7 support.
