As a travel writer & photographer, I’ve published over 100 travel guides, drawing on my personal experience to share unique itineraries, travel & accommodation tips, and epic adventure guides covering hikes, viewpoints, the best activities and things to do.

Book your Rental Car from Tirana (Airport or city)

For us, a hire car is the best option for travelling around Albania in a flexible and time-saving way. Our recommendation: As Albania is very mountainous, in our experience you should hire a car with sufficient horsepower.
