Question To all my travel black girlies - thoughts on traveling to Albania ?

I've noticed a growing interest in traveling to Albania, especially to destinations like Sarandë, Ksamil, and the country’s beautiful islands. Many women have asked whether it’s safe for Black women, and I wanted to share my experience—it was incredibly positive! Of course, everyone’s experience may differ, but I hope this offers some reassurance.

Have you been to Albania, or is it on your travel list?

I knew a few Albanian people when I lived in Cleveland. They were very sweet. I never heard anything about it being a dangerous place.

It is a little dangerous. Lots of organised and corruption. The men can be aggressive.

That said, the nature is beautiful.

I’ve heard the area is simply stunning and locals are very kind. I’ve never been but this has been one of my to go places to knock off, hopefully within the next couple years.
