Leg #16: Thessaloniki, Greece –>Tirana, Albania
Transportation:
Bus to Bus Station
–Cost 1.1€
Overnight Bus to Tirana
–30€
–Arrived 5:30am
Ironically, the only time seat numbers mattered our entire trip was on the bus full of Albanians. In Albania especially, these things never matter. The bus stopped a couple times, including at a restaurant where everyone except us got the memo to go chow down on a full course meal in 20 minutes or less. The bus didn’t drop us off at the bus station. It was in another part of town.
Lodging:
Stephen Center
–1 night
–25€/person for 1 night
This is a great place to stay. The best part is the breakfast where you can eat at their restaurant which is AMAZING. It is the only place in all of Albania where you can get close to authentic American food. It’s a good taste of home.
Tirana Total: 56.1€
This was the last stop on our backpacking adventure. We had an amazing trip and I for one would do it again in a heartbeat.
