It started with an article saying you\u2019ll pay 16 euros for a substantial lunch for two by the sea in Albania, and there you can live a whole week with the money that elsewhere would suffice for three days,\u201d the Croatian RTL chronicle states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not Greece, it\u2019s not Spain, it\u2019s not Hawaii, and it\u2019s not Thailand. These are the European Maldives. Surprised tourists are discovering Albania. You\u2019ll travel the roads of Albania for free, as there are no road tolls,\u201d the RTL chronicle continues.<\/p>\n<p>RTL interviewed a tourist who expressed that prices are lower, both for accommodation and even for parking. \u201cAccommodation for one week for two people in Croatia would cost 2-3 thousand euros, while in Albania, including travel and everything, it would cost around 1,000 euros for one week. Perhaps even less,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>According to a travel agency quoted by RTL, a one-week vacation in Albania, including all expenses, requires 850 euros.<\/p>\n<p>Adriana Karuza, a travel blogger, expressed to RTL that \u201cAlbania is simply more affordable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have witnessed that prices in Europe have skyrocketed. Albania is simply more affordable. I can say that two years ago, we spent 730 euros, including everything: hotel, food, souvenirs, and even car repairs. Road tolls were not paid. I remember that fuel was not cheap, but we didn\u2019t have parking expenses,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>According to RTL, the unusual advertisement continues to attract guests. \u201cDue to inflation, prices have changed, but here it can still be seen as affordable. Beaches, castles, and reasonable prices, it seems that Albania has it all,\u201d concludes the RTL chronicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced this Saturday that 22,000 Croatian visitors have frequented Albania until July 2023, which is 41% more than the previous year.
