Thank you for the description. You'd be welcomed again. Please, bring some Finnish metal bands next time (obviously kidding, but that would have been nice). Your tone of voice is uniquely pleasant.

Thanks for recommending the bank. How about currency exchange booths on street? When you pay accommodations, do they prefer € or Lek?

What’s the differences between Berat & Gjirokaster? They seem quite similar? Trying to map out an itinerary and there’s too much choice😜 and all so far apart 🥺

[dani]

When you go back to Albania, check out Vlorë - it was awesome. Zvernec Monastery (it's on an island in a lagoon) is worth seeing there, and there's a nice walk back down the coast and through pine forests to the city.
I'm definitely going to try and visit some of the other towns I've seen on your videos (like Berat) when I go back.

Side note about the Burek - Albania's sometimes seems to be a little different to alot of the other Balkan versions (like the triangular spinach ones you often see there).

You did a good job of explaining that the "buses" are not what people expect 😅 I've lost count how many times I've seen people on Facebook travel groups stressing about them because they can't plan and buy tickets etc
