Garbage is everywhere in Albania, in cities, along the roads, often on beaches, and near popular attractions. Typically, it consists of plastic bags, plastic bottles, cigarette butts, a lot of plastic in general, and overall untidiness and negligence are frequently felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s useful to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>However, Albanians are very clean when it comes to their homes or food. There&#8217;s always cleanliness and order. Why do they create such a mess outside their homes? I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s a peculiar characteristic. But you&#8217;ll agree with me that we also have this tendency, unfortunately.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the center of Tirana and other major cities are clean and well-maintained. In Saranda, for example, cleaners work daily to pick up every speck of dirt. But that&#8217;s more of an exception than the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>A little bit of optimism:<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>After about 3-4 days, you won&#8217;t notice the garbage everywhere anymore. You arrive in the mountains, admire a beautiful waterfall, and the garbage around you becomes invisible. Perhaps the locals operate the same way. They simply don&#8217;t notice this garbage or pretend not to.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043e\u0442\u0438\u043f\u044b-\u043e\u0431-\u0430\u043b\u0431\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0438\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stereotypes_about_Albania\"><\/span>Stereotypes about Albania<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many stereotypes about Albania, and usually, they are known to those who are around 40 years old and above. If you&#8217;re 20-25 years old and reading this text, you might be hearing about these things for the first time. But people like me, who are a bit older, have definitely heard about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are three well-known myths about Albania, and I&#8217;ll debunk them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All Mercedes in Albania are stolen.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The people&#8217;s car in the country is a Mercedes. Even today, they make up about 30% of all cars on the roads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have a Mercedes, you haven&#8217;t made it in life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The obsession with Mercedes in Albania originated during the rule of dictator Enver Hoxha. He believed that a real car could only be a Mercedes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since the country was very poor, it was considered that only very wealthy individuals could afford a Mercedes. However, with a population of 2.8 million people and 1 million cars on the roads, all residents being poor, it&#8217;s registered that 300,000 Mercedes are in Albania.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hence, the myth emerged that they are all stolen. In reality, most of the Mercedes cars here are 20-year-old wrecks that are worth nothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/albania\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/albania\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/plysy-mercedes-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"mercedes of albania \" class=\"wp-image-1690\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The driver of this minibus is a respected person in society.

And tourists are treated like sacred individuals; no one will harm them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As for the danger in Albanian mountains, there&#8217;s nothing to fear there either. 20 years ago, they were remote mountains without roads and connections to the outside world. The lack of information generated such rumors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today, even the most remote parts of Albania have roads, and the quality of mobile internet will surprise many. 4G coverage exists in 99% of the country&#8217;s territory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"\u0441\u0430\u043c\u044b\u0439-\u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u044b\u0439-\u0430\u043b\u0431\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439-\u0441\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043e\u0442\u0438\u043f\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_ultimate_stereotype_about_Albania\"><\/span>The ultimate stereotype about Albania <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cinema of the early 2000s created the stereotype that everything in Albania is incredibly cheap. If you have $10, you&#8217;re a king here. This was further fueled by rankings of the poorest countries in Europe, where Albania consistently ranked among the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>But how is it really?<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>In reality, calling Albania a cheap country doesn&#8217;t quite fit.

There are attractions with entrance fees of \u20ac10.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, a vacation in Albania cannot be called expensive, but it&#8217;s also not cheap. I would say that prices for many things here are comparable to our own. Some things are cheaper, such as restaurants and cafes, while others are considerably more expensive, like gasoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the article through the link, you can read about the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/albania\/travel-cost-to-albania-for-a-couple\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/albania\/travel-cost-to-albania-for-a-couple\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travel cost for a couple<\/a> and how much money to bring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, you&#8217;ve read about all the pros and cons of travel to Albania as a tourist. Yes, there might be some aspects I haven&#8217;t mentioned, but they don&#8217;t change the overall picture. The pros outweigh the cons significantly. The only unpleasant aspect is the issue of garbage. Everything else in Albania is wonderful. Come here and explore different facets of Albania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember, each year Albania becomes more expensive.
