Further Information

Travel

Travelling overland to Albania isn't that easy, as there are no international train services that reach the country. What you can do however, is catch a ferry from Bari in Italy to Durres, from where you can reach the rest of Albania. There are also ferries from Corfu to Sarande

Bus services also operate to the country, travelling from Istanbul, Athens and Sofia. You can also reach Monetenegro by bus or shared taxi.

The trains inside Albania are generally pretty poor quality, although they are also very cheap and offer an unrivalled experience in terms of culture and scenery.
