hello, I can’t find tour Sarandë review which you mentioned you would post next. I am planning to potentionally go there this month and would appriciate to hear your impressions, since I really like your content! Is the water clean, is there trash, is it lively and are there any sandy beaches? Which beach/place there would you recommend and how do you rate it from 1-5. Thank you in advance 🤗
We have also put together a Sarandë destination on our website, which you should check out too! jjbucketlisttravellers.com/sarande-destination-guide/
Wow,a great Riviera. A hidden gem,I love to discover places not so famous,sometimes they turn out to be better!.Great video BLT! Saludos mis amigos Tuani!!
Hola Henry! Yes, we love finding hidden gems as well and always prefer going to places that aren't as famous too. This was really heaven. Gracias por ver!
@@BucketListTravellers yes ,heaven indeed.Thanks for the video BLT,travel safe mis amigos!
Nice guys and nice video, thanks!😊
Very Nice Greece Place. 💙 We Love Greece 💙
Yes very nice, but this is Albania! Greece is next door. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, guys! Well done. Keep it up! Can’t wait to visit Himare. I will be there in 3 weeks.
Hi @Giahomemadeproductions, we are so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Have an amazing time there!
Super info. Thanks!!
Thanks for watching FreeRadical1! Himara was amazing and around a 2hr drive from Vlore, in case you were wondering.
Ah yes, this is more my cup of tea guys! Rocky outcrops, deep clear water…gorgeous! Don’t mind a few beach umbrellas as long as it’s not crowded! Lovely video.
This was definitely our cup of tea as well! So beautiful and not crowded. The beaches had a different feel to Croatia, but just as gorgeous, if not moreso! Thanks for watching Helen. 😀 - Jon
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Naomi.
Wow love the way you guys travel. Just like us! Once we are in a country we love to explore it to the fullest! I am saving theses videos because when we visit we have to rewatch these video’s. Another great journey!
Yay! Agreed, we love exploring countries and going to places that aren't typically on the tourist trail. Himare was so beautiful and we were surprised that it wasn't busier. We reckon the best time of year to visit Albania is early June, when it is warm but the summer beach crowds have not yet arrived.
What incredible beaches and beautiful town! Love the apartment! The food too looks amazing!! Great tour guys! ~Cara 💖
(We used this same song in our Maui Hawaii video 😂😂)
This appears to be habit of mine! You have very good taste in music Cara! 😀
This may have helped narrow my stay down to here when I visit the Rivera this summer. Looks amazing.
Hi S F, glad we could help! Himare was one of our favourite spots and in early June we had it all to ourselves!
it is no nice to see more and more people visiting albania...we had a hard past but the future seems bright. I left the country with my family when I was 7 years old, wathcing the videos of vlora, himara and saranda you made my eyes wet. thank you for this beaituful video and I hope to see you both again one day in albania. Faleminderit dhe jete te lumture!
Awww, that makes us so happy to hear that you felt this way with our videos. Albania is a beautiful country with a lot of potential as a tourist destination. The people we met were the nicest we had come across in Europe. We hope to visit Albania again one day to explore more!
How are you my dears.your sharing very very beautiful .i seen lot of nice places .you both ate delicious meals .really everything is superb 🌴🌻👌
Thank you for watching Bn Tou sing! Himare was such a beautiful place, our favourite in Albania.
I love ❤Albania ❤ Very nice video congratulation
There is so much natural beauty in Albania isn't there? Thanks for watching!
Lovely ❣️
We are going this year 🚣 🌴
Thanks for watching and have a great trip!
But thank you so much for your video and support to Albanian tourism ❤
You are most welcome! Albania is the hidden gem of Europe and has a lot of potential. We loved our time there and the people of Albania were so lovely towards us.
Todas las playas están preciosas. Todo muy limpio, el agua se ve buena. Me alegra que disfruten y la pasen de maravilla, sólo que guárdenme un poquito de musaka 😢. Mmm 😋
😂😂. ¡Luché por conseguir cualquier Mousaka de Jay! ¡No me gustan tus posibilidades! Himara era tan bonita, definitivamente nuestra favorita en Albania.
Water is so clear and blue
Yes, the Albanian Riviera is so amazing. Thanks for watching Adrian.
I wish I'd watched this before we arrived. We've only been in Albania a few days, but the first two and a half days I was drinking lots of tap water because I was trying to cleanse my body after drinking so much the week prior. Well I surely got that cleanse! I spend a disconcerting amount of time on the can! 😆
Oh no! We drank filtered water everywhere except for Shkoder. We were in Shkoder for a week and had no issues.
Albania's BEST
Just like 38💞
Definitely our favourite spot in Albania. Thanks for watching!

Hi sanjakeri2998, we are so happy to hear that you enjoy our content! Here is the vlog: czcams.com/video/AwgLa-2CJko/video.html . The water was clean when we were there (early June 2022) and Ksamil beach just outside Sarande is a sandy beach that you MUST visit!
Saludos 👪 🤗
Hola Mery! Gracias por ver!🤗🤗
Off season folks, way to busy in the summer months. Still beautiful.
We were very lucky when we were there in early June 2022, it was empty. I'm sure it gets crazy soon after!
Great video! How did you reach the beaches on the second day (Gjipe, Jala)? Walking, hiking?
Thanks for watching, glad to hear you enjoyed it. We walked/hiked all the way from Himare. It took a couple of hours, but was very scenic! There is a well marked track you can follow, which we found using google maps.
I don’t think you guys realise you’re off season :). Usually is quite busy. I would say best of season cheaper and also you have all to your own :)
😂 Yes, we had got there just before the season had started. It was early June and the weather was really warm too, a perfect time to visit. We were in Corfu a few days later and that was PACKED with tourists already by mid June.
Great video... Pls what time of year was this ?
Thanks for watching! We were in Himara in early June. We thought it was a perfect time to visit as it wasn't that busy and the weather was around 30C, perfect beach weather.
Great video! Are you guys Aussies?
Thanks Jezza! Yes, we certainly are Aussies!
Hello, you are wonderful, I have two questions, which city is the cheapest, and the second question, which beach did you like?😊
Thanks for watching Fatooma! We found Vlore to be the cheapest and our favourite beaches were around Himare. That said, we didn't get the chance to visit Ksamil, but it looks pretty amazing.
@@BucketListTravellers Thank you, you are wonderful. So I will not go to the north of Albania because I expect the north to be more expensive than the south😊
@@BucketListTravellers And also a last question, which country is the cheapest for you?😊
@@fatooma3036 North Albania is also nice though. We really enjoyed Tirana and Shkodra.
@@fatooma3036 ohhh interesting question! In our travels so far, Albania is definitely the cheapest country we've visited in Europe. Cambodia has been the cheapest in Asia and Nicaragua in the Americas!
Welcome to beatiful south Albania 🇦🇱
Thanks very much armagedon gr. We had a lovely time in Albania and found that everyone was so friendly and welcoming.
Whant do you Think for Himara
Me bad is boring I now because U live there
Hi Sara, we found Himara to be the nicest beach area in all our travels of Albania. It is definitely quiet, so we understand what you mean and it would be a different experience if you live there all the time. Thanks for watching.
@@BucketListTravellers thank you i look rude in that comment but there are so much racist and my tercher is rude whith me thank you for seeing my comment and i love that video
My aunt lives there she owns a shop there
She lives in a wonderful part of the world! Thanks for watching.😀
Is this the place where they speak Greek still ?
Hi David, yes you are right, there is a Greek community in HImare.
Yeah, sellout orthodox Albanians that speak Greek to get their Greek visas 😂
@@BucketListTravellersgreek population only himare is ALBANIAN!
Yes something like that would cost 150 dollars in Aussieland, so dont complain 🤪
You are right about that! Thanks for watching.
SaganaKi with a K , not R. It's with shrimps not mussels
Whoops, sorry. Thanks for clarifying for us.😀
Folks, himare is a Greek town 😂
Yes, it definitely has a strong Greek influence.
@@BucketListTravellers Don't be victims of greek propaganda of Megali Idea.Himara has never been greek.
@@pranveraohri1204 yeah o.k kid
Come and take it then! Southern Epirus is Albanian land 🇦🇱🌊🦅
@@BucketListTravellers No such thing as "Greek" influence. Don't be so naive and fall for Greek nationalists.
Of course ....
Everything what you say is true...
Taverna To Steki is the best restaurant in himara ...
I lovely to gooo again because the food is fantastic and the staff is perfect 🤌❤...
Personally for a wait Ari i server me and i recommend me the best food😍...
Thanks 😊
Hi Klajdi, glad to hear you agree with us! Himara is so pretty and our favourite spot so far in Albania. Thanks for watching!
