Tirana questions

  • Yes. The airport is at Rinas, north of the city. We work back from your flight time and add the buffer the border needs.

  • Of course. Ohrid is barely a detour. An hour in the old town or lunch by the lake can be added and priced before you go.

  • Yes. Euros or denars in cash to the driver, or a bank transfer before the trip.
