Albania by Motorhome: Itineraries and Tips for a Road Trip

The article outlines two ways to reach Albania from Italy: by sea (ferry from Trieste, Ancona, Bari, or Brindisi to Durrës or Vlorë) or overland via Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. Key stops include the Theth Valley, Lake Shkodër, Tirana, Pogradec and Lake Ohrid, as well as the coast with Divjaka-Karavasta National Park and the Llogara Pass. Distances (about 1000 km from Trieste to Durrës) and ferry durations (8–20 hours) are provided.

Vanlife in Albania: What You Need to Know About the Roads

Travelers in a motorhome share their experience driving on Albanian roads. The country has a few well-maintained highways and paved roads between major cities, but most roads are unpaved, and Google Maps does not always indicate the surface type. A paved road can suddenly turn into a rough dirt track, and on highways you may encounter horse-drawn carts, herds of animals, and dogs sleeping on the road. Traffic rules are largely theoretical: solid lines are ignored, speed limits are only enforced during police checks, and overtaking is allowed on either side.
