Albania Furgon/Minibus schedules

by budapest8

I was in Albania in 2008 and in Ulcinj, Montenegro in 2010 and think one of the best ways of getting around is by bus or FURGON (minibus) ..The buses tend to run according to a timetableand the furgons simply when the vehicle is full. We found that most people travel before noon except in Tirane when the transport leaves a bit later as is the capital and a transport hub.See the link below,,,very good info but DO NOT BE SO FIXATED ON LEAVING TIMES, but do be there in good time. ALWAYS get on the furgon with the most people because that's the one that will leave first. There will more than likely be several drivers trying to get you to take their furgon but be warned, if choose one because it's pretty but turns out it's empty, you could end up waiting for 45 minutes while various others pull off. And then you'll be wishing that you didn't care so much about colors.No furgon ride is...

South Albania routes: serviced by Greek-albanian t

by Yiannis2000

One can take the train from Belgrade/ skopje to Thess@loniki in Greece (12/5 hrs), then walk across the street from the station there and catch a direct bus to Abania, Alvavel is the major company's name, it may drop you some kms outside Sarande and then u catch a taxi.BG-Thessa 12 hrs- 30+ euro, twice a dayThessa- Saranda/Ghirokaster, daily (normaly evenings/nights), 34+ euro, 10 hrs.I have taken the northern route via Crna Gora last summer and it is slow and much more tiring...For all destinations south of Tirana the route via Greece is more convenient and not expensive.Lykke til!Yiannis

Dubrovnik to Tirana

by mjbcoffee

Hello, I just traveled with some friends from Tirana to Dubrovnik round trip a few weeks ago. It took us around 7 hours since we had to stop at each border. X4 Albania,Montenegro; Montenegro,Croatia The roads from Tirana to Shkodra is new and wonderful. The road from the Albanian boarder through Montenegro was a little rougher than I expected, but not bad. I did hear that we would need insurance in Montengro, but we were with a travel agency who worked it out all for us. You will need to pay 10 Euro per person when entering Albania. As for safety, I would not be concerned at all. We were all women and had no trouble at all. I enjoyed the trip so much I may take my entire family this May! Enjoy Albania!The Shalom Travel Agency worked very hard to make sure we were comfortable and safe. The drivers were also very proffesional. I highly recommend them.

Friendly buses

by ELear

Buses in Albania are cheap and a great way of meeting people, and you see much more of the countryside than you would squashed up, hurtling along in a furgon, but they tend to take a long time, at least for the moment, because of bad roads or road works (especially south of Tirana) to modernize them (the roads, that is). Road works continue even on Sundays. Buses also often stop on the way to pick people up or let them off, unlike furgons, which don’t start until they’re full, then only stop occasionally for snacks. The timetables at bus stations are fairly accurate, I found, and the buses are reasonably comfortable. It's best to get yourself a bottle of water – pronounced “oowi” – before you set off, like everyone else. (There’s an amazing ship-shaped house just a bit inland from Vlore, which I’d never have seen if I’d been in a furgon. We stopped near there to drop an old couple off, I...
