Albanien, "den glömda Europa."

There is very little information to be obtained from Albania. If anything, the authorities place difficulties in the way of entrance of foreign tourists, It takes a long time to get an entrance visa.

The road network does not comply with the requierments of modern tourist traffic. Inland traffic on the few roads mainly consists of lorries (lastbilar för er som inte lärt er korrekt engelska). Filling stations and garages only exist in the largest places. The motorist cannot depend on finding spare parts. In autumn and winter it's not advisable to use the roads on the account of the hevay rains.

Hotels only exist Tirana, Shkoder, Durres and Vlone. The small inns satisfy only the most modest requierments.

Third-party insurance is not compulsary. Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left. As the latin script is used in Albania, there is no difficulty in reading the sign posts.

The unit of currency is the lek. 100 leks is about $2 dollars.
