FR to Albania

AT Notts

You're absolutely right. I spent 10 days in Albania in September and loved every minute. Beautiful scenery both coastal and inland,, beaches far better than those in Spain or the Canaries, lots to see and do, great food but most of all the I remember it for the kind, friendly people who are not (yet) so used to tourists that they rip you off at every opportunity.....Tirana itself is a quirky, buzzy little capital city although like any city the world over, it has it's "characters" and there are parts of the city you definitely don't want to be visiting as a tourist.

I flew via Corfu and the ferry to Sarande, however these new flights open up flying in to Tirana, out of Corfu (or vice versa) meaning you can see the main sights without a lot of overland backtracking.

I'm already planning my next trip, looking at combining FR via Tirana and Jet2 via Tivat and going overland between Albania &Montenegro (or vice versa).

I think the FR Tirana flight will do very well from BHX 👍
