This impression makes some travelers come with trepidation. But after a few days, almost everyone says the same thing: they didn&#039;t expect the people to be so kind and the country to be so peaceful.<\/p><p>Today, in Tirana, Saranda or Berat, the streets are full of families until late at night. Children play in the squares, the elderly drink coffee in the evening and people stop to help you when they see you confused with the map. Hospitality here is not something for tourists. It is part of the way we were raised.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9679e63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9679e63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"sendet\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Personal belongings: some simple tips<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3710838 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3710838\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As in any tourist city in Europe, it is worth being a little careful with your belongings, especially in crowded places, like the center of Tirana or the crowded beaches in summer.

Most are honest, but some try to make a little extra money from tourists, especially late at night when you are tired. It is not a big deal, but it is good to know: ask for a taxi with a meter or agree on the price before getting in. Exchange money at official exchange offices or banks.<\/p><p>For a family or a group, the most peaceful solution is a <a href=\"https:\/\/minibus.al\/en\/transfers-from-tirana-airport-tia\/\"><strong>booked transfer from the airport<\/strong><\/a>. The price is fixed in advance, the driver waits for you with a sign with your name on it, and the entire group travels together, with their suitcases, in a single vehicle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d28bdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d28bdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"rruget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Roads: how to move comfortably<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d68e6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d68e6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Most of the main roads are good and are being improved every year.

In the mountains, the things to keep in mind are the usual: fast-changing weather, long trails and poor phone reception. Set off early, take plenty of water and, if you are inexperienced, hire a local guide.<\/p><p>On the beaches, there are not always lifeguards.
