Durrës for a day?

Hi I was hoping for some advice. I’ll be in Durrës for a day because I’m catching a night ferry.
Things to do/see?
Any recommendations on where to store a bag until 10pm?
Any advice on staying safe around the port at night? Are there any places to sit and chill?

4 days in Albania end of May — Himarë worth it without a car?

Hi everyone,

I’m visiting Albania at the end of May for around 4 days, but I leave very early on the 4th day from Tirana, so I basically have 3 full days.

I’m a beach person, but I don’t drive, so I’ll rely on buses/public transportation. Is it worth going all the way to Himarë for just one beach day, or should I choose a closer beach like in Vlorë or Golem?

I’m also curious about beach in Vlöre or Golem. Is it nice and relaxing or more or less like Barceloneta in Barcelona? Is Himarë much more beautiful than Vlorë/Golem, enough to justify the long trip?

I’m also considering Berat and a little bit of Tirana, but I’m worried it might be too rushed.

What would you recommend for a short first trip?

Is traveling without a car viable?

Hello! I am planning a 3 week trip in Albania and it's neighbors - Macedonia and Montenegro, however I'd really prefer to not travel by car and instead use taxis/public transportation. I wanted to ask how viable the routes between certain places are - Tirane -> Ohrid (Macedonia), Ohrid -> Tirane, Tirane -> Shkoder, Shkoder -> Podgorica (Montenegro). Also checking the option of getting from Tirane to Thessaloniki?

TLDR: How viable is it to travel without a car from Tirane, Ohrid, Shkoder, Podgorica and maybe Thessaloniki?
