How to come in Albania

By air 

There’s also a bus that links the center of Tirana (from Rruga e Durrësit, next to the main square) to the airport, leaving each hour. Cost = 250 Lek (2 euros). Taxis costs around 20 / 30 euros one way.

Some of you may want to arrive through Corfu, but you may consider that it’s barely possible to leave the island on the same day of your arrival there. Situated in front of the city of Saranda in the South, there are only 2 to 3 ferries in one day which links the two countries.
