    So imma have to wear my MAGA tshirt there...

    Thanks for the response btw, I also hear 2 completely different stories: people that had an awful time (gypsies bothering them, bad roads, poverty) and people wanting to go back a.s.a.p (locals are very friendly and helpful, beaches etc is the same as other tourist countries but all is cheaper).

    You ever been to Durres?

    Durres is where I spent most my days. And yeah there are bad roads and horses and carts behind Porches and BMWs and the occasional annoying gypsies its a poor corrupt country but it's safe. On the plus side nice beaches/resorts/clubs & cheaper than west/north europe. In comparison Italy is the most violent mexico rivalling hellhole I've lived in but I was in naples and apulia maybe the other parts are better

    That said, Croatia is more developed/modern than albania withthe same nice beaches but I'm not sure what the cost differences are

    I've been in Albania once couple of years ago. Things what i remember the most : It is very cheap there (accommodation, food etc), very clean sea, very dangerous roads. If i would be you I would definitely avoid driving with the car on those serpentines and prefer to take a flight.
    Lot polish airlines can be contacted here, they had couple of good flights in the past.
