In Albania with Rosa

First 2 nights in Elbasan, positive surprise, lively city at night and very affordable.

Hot when it is so luckily we found restaurants & pool Balla, 600lek and you got to spend the day at the pool

We stayed inside the castle at the Real Scampis Hotel, I recommend it!

On the way we stopped in a little village called Lin, super cute! And I guess the story goes that it’s the oldest town in Europe to have been inhabited.

Next 2 nights in Pogradec on the shores of Lake Ohrid. A very affordable place!

We also visited Drilon and the village of Tushemist. The magnificent sunrises were particularly memorable.

The hotel was a bit too big for our taste (Hotel Enkelana) and we chose it because of the location and the gym. There was nothing wrong with the hotel itself, I just like smaller ones.

One night stopover in Korcë, another night would have been nice to see more.

Our accommodation was super!!! Meri Butique Hotel. Definitely go there if you are in Korcë. Cheap food/drink. Kinda missed many of the bazaars being open as they were not open in the afternoon/evening and not in the morning

One night’s accommodation “on the farm” Farma Sotira super friendly staff here too, great food! We stayed among the animals and the 3h horseback ride topped it all off! Go!!!
