I’m Megi! I’m 21 years old and live in Durrës, Albania. I study Economic Informatics at university and work as an economist. I enjoy traveling and discovering new places.
My experience in this city was amazing. I loved every bit of it, from great local food, beautiful beaches and architecture to some of the kindest people. In the past few years more and more tourists are coming so the prices might be getting a bit expensive, but it is still a very good place if youre traveling on a budget. I wouldn't necessarily recommend walking alone at night judging by the amount of men honking and catcalling even durring sunlight, however, I would still rank it amongst the safest places I've stayed.
Posted: October 21, 2025Experienced: April, 2025Was in Durrës, Albania from June 1st till the 5th. It was amazing, the food was good, the weather was sunny and warm and overall a great experience. Super inexpensive all together. The only downside was the transport, the apps don’t work well and the taxis take cash and that not everyone speak English (but managed to communicate still). Over all felt very safe, and is family friendly. It’s like being in Spain but much cheaper and less of a crowd. I went on a vr-tour where the tour guides showed the nature and told about some local history, it was just the perfect adventure and saw beautiful nature. If I was staying longer I would honor hikes around the area to visit more hidden gems. Overall loved the experience and will definitely travel there again.
