    Getting TO/AROUND: In the capital Tirana you will find stops where all the buses are with signs in the front windscreen (as you will see in my picture, that bus is going to Himare) telling you were its going. Once you have left a boy will come round and ask where you are going to then you pay him the amount of money.

    I found that the mini buses were good and very cheap, there is a place in tirana where you go to get these. There will be people shouting the place they are going then you can ask if they will stop in whatever place you want to get off. They normally stop for a break for something to drink and eat if its a long journey.

    We also took taxi's when we didnt want to share with other people! But these cost alot more which you would expect.

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are two places in the town where you can get a bus/mini bus or a taxi. One place is at the bottom of the town on the main road that goes through near to the petrol station and the other place further into the town you can get taxi's from the bit next to the park and football pitch. This is the best place for a taxi as whenever i have been there they are parked and waiting for people.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The best place to get the bus or mini buses is from the area where the road goes through the town on the way to Tirana and the other way Gjirokaster. This is near to the monument of Ali Pasha and the big hotel in Tepelene. Just over on the other side of the road from here near to a garage and little old looking shop is where the taxi's wait to pick people up.

    Getting TO/AROUND: This was the first time that we had used the new airport as we had driven here. We were quite impressed with the building and it reminded us of Stansted airport in the UK!! There were a few shops to look round and a couple of places to have a drink. Once through passport control there was a tiny duty free shop!!! and nothing else to do but sit and have a drink at the only cafe! I think there was some internet access also? The airport is a step up from the old one!!
