Getting in Albania

You can fly from many European capitals, and Athens is among those offering the best value. The simplest bus route is from Ioannina, Greece to Kakavija on the Albanian border, and there are regular services between Tirana and Sofia in Bulgaria. Land crossings are possible from Yugoslavia and Macedonia. The ferry takes from four to 25 hours, depending on where you leave from Italy, and there is another ferry between Koper, Slovenia and Durës.
