Im gonna be honest, I never really knew about Albania, but now it’s one of my top places I want to visit!!!

The uniqueness of Albania is a representation of the uniqueness of its language. Glad you enjoyed visiting an ancient country that has so much to offer.

I've made a vacation with wife and young kid a couple years ago. I've travelled around with a rented car from beautiful Tirana to the south. Wonderful experience, nice seaside, good food and overall very cheap. People are welcoming and generally very safe. Iwill be back!

Albania is the unpolished diamond less marketed than Greece in Europe. The beaches are pristine and people are really nice.

Albania looks so dope. Added to the bucket list.

Kaja thanks for visiting Tirana and sharing this video. Tirana is my home town born and raised there and moved in Michigan in 1997. When I go there I get lost in my home town so many changes, new buildings…. new neighborhoods. In two past decades it is developed and modernized drastically. I love and miss it. Can’t wait to get retired in few years and will visit from North to South. It’s amazing beautiful nature landscapes plus investment from locals building hotels and restaurants cafes…. Amazing country amazing ppl amazing hospitality. Thanks again for visiting my country and very glad you enjoyed there. ❤️❤️❤️

To be honest 6 million people visited Albania in 2019. That's twice the population of the country. After the pandemic situation numbers have fallen but also 2021 was a real good year in terms of tourism for Albania. So it is not true that no one visits Albania 😁. You don't have to compare it to Greece that is one of the world's most famous tourist destination. Other than this correction i must say that you are such a cute and beautiful girl 😍

I work with a couple of Albanian men. One was a symphony French Horn player, one was a Teacher.

They are both cultured, hard working and fine people

[liesdiebibelbruder]

I visit it every year because my Wife is Albanian and her Parents own Apartments over there. Love it.

[marktrvls]

Am visiting Tirana at the moment and am also surprised by how nice it is, prices cheap, nice cafes and restaurants, the skanderberg square and the big park are great to walk around, the coffee is great, the temperature is also fantastic compared to my country ireland, would easily put down a week here, nice video 👍

[matuklon]

I've just come back from Tirana and am missing it so much... Love the cafe scene there and all the street art! Thanks for these videos, they kind of let me re-live my trip! ☺️
