Day 78 - 80: Waiting out the heatwave

And once again, we're heading along the coast. The Bar Ledh was fantastic but also very crowded. So, with a heavy heart, we decided to move on. It's been 30 degrees for days now, and the best place to be is by the water.Read more

Day 80 - 81: Onward to Tirana

After spending several days at the seaside, we were drawn back toward the mountains and the interior of the country. We wanted to continue on toward Greece/Turkey, as winter was approaching. So, we packed everything up again and set off.Read more

Day 80 - 82: Sanctuary
A pleasant, family-run campsite with chickens and a great base for exploring Tirana. Good bus connections to the city. Every evening, the host treated every guest to a raki. Free of charge for sure ;D
The entrance is steep, but we are already used to that from Montenegro ;)Read more

Day 80: The capital of Albania.
A very modern city with many extravagant and colourful buildings. A very progressive city with many unusual bars and pubs. It creates a great attitude towards life.

Day 81: Same shit, different day xD

And because we enjoyed it so much, we went back for a second visit.
At sunset, we went up to the Observator Bar, where you can see the whole city.

Bar Komiteti
September 23, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Day 81: First, a raki!

The second day began with what felt like endless raki. At the Bar Komiteti, we found over 50 different types of raki. Of course, we tried eight of them first... What can I say? It's a super cosy place with a great atmosphere and world-class raki. Definitely worth a visit!Read more

Day 82: Tirana Bunker Museum

The first Bunk'Art 1 Museum is located just outside the city centre. It is a truly remarkable museum with a wealth of fascinating Albanian history. Simply walking through the narrow rooms and floors is an enjoyable experience.
Interestingly, several floors are still used by the Albanian military/secret service today and are top secret.Read more

Day 83: The name says it all

The old town of Berat is one of the most beautiful old towns we have ever seen. And the name "City of a Thousand Windows" is certainly no exaggeration. A visit is definitely a must and an absolute highlight when you are in Albania. 🇦🇱 🪟Read more

Beautiful spot for the night
Sep 25–26, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Day 83: A spot above Berat

After a long day in the city of a thousand windows, we found a spot nearby with a view of Berat. It wasn't perfect because it was right next to the road, but fortunately there was hardly any traffic. The close distance to the city and the view made up for it.Read more

Osum Canyon
Sep 26–27, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Day 84 - 85: Somehow disappointing

After our wonderful experiences in Berat, we drove on to the mountains and the Osum canyon, full of hope and confidence. When we arrived, we were greeted by a truly beautiful canyon. However, due to the rainfall over the previous few days, we also found the terrain to be very muddy and boggy. We decided to move on after one night, as there was no prospect of good weather. Even more annoying was the fact that the roads to Permet were impassable without a 4x4. So we had to drive all the way back to Berat and the coast.Read more

Sep 27–28, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Day 85 - 86: A day's drive

Due to the weather and the resulting impassable roads, we were unable to make it from the Osum canyon to Permet and were forced to return to Berat and from there back to the coast. Our mood was accordingly gloomy, as we had to drive a total of 220 km back, which took us four hours or more. Nevertheless, we arrived at the coast in the evening. We spent the night in a beautiful spruce forest.Read more

Dhermi
September 28, 2025 in Albania ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
Day 86: Coastal town

We slowly but surely made our way down the coast. The landscape changed, and so did our impressions. From Dhermi onwards, you get a real taste of Greece, as the landscape and culture change. The town itself looks like a Greek town straight out of a picture book. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a suitable place for our camper Hugo, so we moved on. Unfortunately, there is no photo here :/Read more

Gjipe Canyon sleep place
Sep 28–29, 2025 in Albania ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
Day 86 - 87: Beautiful spot at Gjipe

In addition to all the parking spaces where you have to pay, if you are clever, there is also the option of finding free spaces on your own in nature. Really great place 15 minutes away from Gjipe Beach and Canyon. The only disadvantage was that in the evening a man came and tried to extort money, but without success.Read more

Gjipe Beach

Day 86: Great beach with hippie flair

Here, where nature combines a great canyon with beach and sea. 🌊
We decided to cool off in the sea first and then go hiking in the canyon. This beach right in the canyon really has a great atmosphere.
In the afternoon, while having a drink in one of the bars on the beach, we met a group of lads from Kiel.Read more

Day 86: Sunset 🌅

We headed to the next bar with the lads from Kiel to watch the sunset from there. Just getting there was a highlight and really fun with the Kielers :D
The bar was closed and the sunset was so-so, but it was definitely a really funny evening!Read more

Day 89 - 92: Marvel at and weather the storm

As the storm approached, we made our way up a mountain for a safe space and watch the storm. The night was wild but totally fine, despite the storm ⛈️.
The view of Corfu from here was also breathtaking. We used the location to explore the area and returned in the evening. Corfu Love is definitely there without ever having been there ♥️Read more

Day 91: Along the Albanian Riviera

Further down the coast, we stopped in Ksamil and the surrounding area. Looking for a place to sleep near the sea, we found the Waves Bar. It was already closed at the time, but it would definitely have been possible to stay there overnight.
However, due to the storm, we decided just to visit the beach and drive on. Really great bay 👍Read more

Day 92 - 93: A stopgap solution,

not particularly attractive and certainly not cheap by Albanian standards. However, due to repairs, laundry and toilet emptying, we decided on the spur of the moment to spend the night at Camp Laerti. All in all, totally fine for one night.Read more

Due to severe weather and problems with the roof, we decided to spend the night at an abandoned petrol station. We got through the night just fine thanks to the space, and it was kind of funny too xDRead more

Thermal water Permet
October 6, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Day 94: More appearance than substance

We decided to go to Permet after all to enjoy the thermal springs. When we arrived, we were greeted by a rather dreary sight. Lots of construction work for new car parks (commercialisation really kicks in) and hot springs that are not even remotely hot... However, the canyon was definitely an eye-catcher and the hike here was a great experience.Read more

Day 94 - 97: Repairing the camper

Since our camper urgently needed repairs and we could get everything we needed from Permet, we decided to stay here until we had repaired the camper. This took three days, as things kept going missing and new problems cropped up after the old ones had been fixed.Read more
