We also visited neighboring countries including North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Like you, we started in Greece and entered Albania from Meteora and Ioannina before staying in Gjirokastër.

We toured the country for 11 days exiting through Shkoder and into Montenegro. We managed to avoid some of your challenges by having an Albanian-speaking tour guide who handled the border crossings and other times when we needed a translator.

I can provide more details about the trip, our guide, and the tour company on our blog post https://cosguide4travel.com/albania-is-worth-visiting/.
