Albania: forbidden paradise

- Albania is a country still unknown to many people. Thanks to its beautiful beaches, parties and private clubs, tourists never get bored.
But behind this dreamy facade, there are many illegal activities that harm the security of the country.

"When tourists arrive in large numbers, paradise can quickly turn into a nightmare."
I think these may be the last few years you can really enjoy the place.
Sei invidioso.
Just came back from Albania with my girlfriend and loved it
I visited durres and was impressed by the archaeological site
I'm french living in Albania with my wife, and so happy to be there :)
how good is the internet?
@@skillfuldabest🎉 very good !
C'est toujours "inexpensive" pour y vivre ou visiter?
@@Hugh-fs1qn Oui
One of the best and cheapest in Europe..This video is too old@@skillfuldabest
The natural beauties of Albania are similar to those of its neighbours BUT cultural sites of Albania a different and special. There are also Anglo-Albanian monument sites with cultural and historical connections that are worth visiting.
I would love to go to new Albania! As an American visitor and even live there in my dreams. Beautiful place! Nice Great People!
trust me, don't go there
Americans can stay 1 year visa free in albania

So much has changed since this was made in 2016. They had the most tourists in their history in 2023 and the industry is booming. 10 million tourists visited in 2023. It’s just going to get better and better. There are plenty of new beautiful hotels all over the coast. It still has a lot of improvement to go, but the roads are new and it’s a definite must visit now.
I went in November and going back again. I can see its cheap and unspoiled beauty and culture soon becoming exploited by mass tourism and wanted to see it all before it turns into a second Italy.
Would never go there. Its a Muslim country like Tunisia Egypt Morocco etc. I don't trust them because they hate the westerner but love their money.. I went to Tunisia once. Never again like a flea pit swarming ants trying to get your money 💰😂
Beautiful women, Nice Country. Greetings from the Gambia 🇬🇲
Albania is not cheap anymore and to many people in summer + extreme traffic jams in summer. Small country like albania with 3 million people hosting over 10million turist is nightmare
we live in New Zealand in a small town where tourists come and ships pull in. We hate it, so do most locals
Poi schiattare di invidia .' Albania e perla d'europa. Quest anno si raddoppia il turismo.... io ci sono stata.brava gente e paese bellissimo con mare cristallino...👋🇮🇹
I went to Albania once and asked some police officers for directions, they then extorted me of 50€ or they would make some charges against me. Not going back.
Edit: I am not a Serb, I am from Portugal - felt the need to disclose given that everyone in the comments is calling me a Serb
😂😂😂
Excellent decision...
Why tf did you go there in the 1st place??

This documentary seems 12 years old.
Very outdated.
How? Try to explain further.
The Wedding was On 2016
8 years
You want it modern with discos and nightclubs
2012 is old?
You remember how you can get killed for looking at a man in public before enver hoxha liberated albania from patriarchy??
Amazing that their journalists are actually being journalists. Here in the good ol usa we don't have such a thing.
Not fair to the real journalists in the US. It’s just that the plebeians by and large want their ears tickled with conspiracy theories and entertained. Many in the public are quite discerning.

Exactly... Like Faux News spouting BS
You must really living in a hole if you consider this journalism. this is an informational
The reason Albania is beautiful is because there are no Hotels
Not many there but beautiful
There are. Sarande and Vlore are nice.
@user-anc123.....there are no Hotels?? wtfff the millions of tourists who visit Albania and more than 10 million last year where they sleep according to you??
@@lagjescuni5482 Maybe they sleep on the beaches and in trees?
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns but we are not talking about Serbian tourists
If you're a tourist it all looks attractive. Cheap hotel rates, beautiful beaches with crystal clear water and lovely weather. However such videos only show you the surface. I'm reading comments of people who've visited Albania and were extorted by the police. That's gonna put people off. No matter where people go, the #1 thing they care about is their safety. Colombia, Mexico, Brazil etc are all popular tourist destinations but one thing that has repelled some people from going back to those places is the crime and the risk of being abducted. Albania seems nice but there's something sketchy about it. I mean if you're just gonna spend a few days then you'll probably be okay but staying long term? I don't know. And it's not just Albania but anywhere in eastern Europe can be sketchy. This is not to say western Europe is perfect. No, far from it but personally I've never felt any anxiety or fear of being extorted in the west.
Ok yank
Yes you are right, things have changed for worse in most places from what was cool 20 years ago, drugs and greed, cheap travel, and world is moving from south to north. 😊
I loved my time there people were amazingly kind to me a westerner and helped me many times.
Lazarat was 10 years ago . And the albanian prince wedding was more then 10 years ago .
So are you saying this documentary was from a decade ago?
Goodness, nobody looks up anything before writing comments! Prince Leka was married in October 2016, per Wikipedia. That's a little more than 7 years ago. They announced their divorce in January of this year.....
Open to tourists? Ah Albania, kiss your peace and quiet goodbye! 🤦
Stop listening to BS it more safe then the UK
The globe is overpopulated so people need options and tourists love cheap bed rates and nice beaches.
@FuHackers-wx9lq Open to tourists? Ah Albania, kiss your peace and quiet goodbye!
That is so true, driving the Llogara Pass was a nightmare, bumper-to-bumper in a hilly road, endless cars, like a long caravan. We escaped without hitting another car or being hit by other cars.
I would be delighted to attend the wedding. I'm still waiting on the invitation guys lol. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes fir the newlyweds.
The bride looked stunning!
@alidabotes6264 yes I agree.
This place seems magical.
Self procliming themselves kings and quens I bet they are mostly similar blood line hijack Albenia to keep on going monoanrchy BS.
Albania is actually on the Adriatic,but Americans and geography...
albania is on the adriatic but alsothe other half is in the Ionian sea
Very very interesting documentary
Beautiful
This video is 10 years old . Albania has changed drastically during this period , and unfortunately the Royal couple divorced in 2023 😅
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that.
Changed in a good or bad way ?

Time have been the same in albania since 2010
No doubt it’s beautiful there, for god’s sake it’s the Mediterranean ! But seems there’s lack of other important aspects
Super there, we needs to think the was living in a dictatur, so what you want……….
It was a grey shit creek with rotting bodies :D Few week before My visit somebody had dumbed 2000 infested chicken bodies to the coast line and blosted stray dog bodies on beach, we visited off turist season tho
what lacking? i find it last real european country, everywhere else its full reptilian
Its has Beaty but not money real,
too decadent and so common, pass

I am Serbian, going this year for the first time to Albania as a tourist guide for a foreign group on a Balkan trip :)
Well, many Serbs were going to Albania for summer vacation during COVID-19 (it was easier and cheaper), it's not far so why not.
Some of them would come back and say it was great, others would come back and say it is like Montenegro, but less crowd and fewer buildings (what means better). Some of them didn't like it for some reason - it is very similar as going anywhere else.
There is no organised online propaganda against Albanian tourism. Maybe there are some trolls that like to make such comments without even visiting or going there but they would do similar things for everything.
Let's see what Albania looks like - my german wife says it was great there and haha - very similar to Serbia and Montenegro from her point of view (not only landscapes but also the people).
so isses. Alles nur in den Koepfen der Menschen
@nikolamisic3600 Yep, Albania is very similar to Montenegro and Serbia; many young people are open minded; tourism is open for everyone; it does not matter if you are a Serbian or Russian, you are always welcomed in Albania. Last year I saw many tourists from Poland, Check Republic, but there were Serbs, Russians and Ukrainians; and others from Germany, Netherlands and Nordic countries. Overcrowded, but not crazy. The hotel we stays was $85 per night, but if you book well ahead of the season you could get a good bargain. Crimes against tourists are almost inexistent. Plus, Albanians are known for their hospitality, especially if you go for rural tourism, that's where you could enjoy real Albania, and real Albanians. The beaches and other tourist attractions have started to become more expensive. Roads were improved, but I will see if the new highway to Montenegro and Croatia is completed.
I can't wait for Serbia and Kosovo to normalize their relationships, so the entire region moves ahead from the past, and people would move easily among different countries, and without being judgmental of one-another.
It's 2024. This "best documentary" seems to date from 2016. It's absorbing, striking, even beautiful - but how helpful is it to learn about the Albania of 8 years ago? I feel let down.
Thanks!
Tourism will destroy its beauty
Sadly it has already begun like any other place tourists always mess things up
I guess you are speaking of mass tourism, soft tourism is a different story.
not tourism, but capitalism !
Shut up communists already wrecked the place.@@MrLince-hr4of

Very interesting country... See you 24/25 ❤🎉
lazarat and prince wedding happen like 10 years ago now tourism has grown like 100% and for us Albanians is more of a nightmare to much noise now to many people we were in peace before
That’s how we feel about the uk, too many off them and so noisy
good that I'm from Slovenia and we go every year to Alps and sea 🏔️⛵ we also have Alpine and seas for such a small country🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
baklava is Albainan best food ever and their ice-cream.
How is it possible that Slovenian tourists here in Albania go more to the Alps than to the beaches?? at least this is my impression

@@lagjescuni5482 cuz we have Alps too and we are known for Alpine region not seaside.

Cannabis in Italy is currently legal for medical and industrial uses, although it is strictly regulated, while it is decriminalized for recreational uses. In particular, the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use is a civil infraction.
very good information for tourists
I've just declared myself king of my home. Do i get an invitation to the "royal" wedding now too?
What? The wedding arleady happened and i didn't get an invite? This means war!
you should learn and read more books about king zog of albania
Beware of the next revolution "King"
Oh my God, that royal photographer was so full of himselve!
This video is absolutely very old about 15 years! Albania today has 4 star hotels , medium and cheap of all kind and very heavily invested in there, dont miss if u have a chance to visit it ❤ and yeah alot of bots commenting here probably greece or italy afraid to lose their tourists, so they keep propagandating against Albania!
Love from Kosova❤️
The crown prince of Albania got married in 2016, so this video is not much older than 7 years.
@@Arabzeneyep it was made in 2016, but has definitely changed quite a bit in the 8 years since.

This is actually a good documentary
10 years old one
@@holyrs1575 why is that the case of their documentary is 10 to 15 old , no new ones
Its entertaining though
@@Zomeone bcs thats how stuff looked 10-15 years ago and that weeding happened around that time, things look different now
@holyrs1575 i mean they dont upload recent shot documentary
@@Zomeone yes but its not an accurate representation of Albania right now, for example the cannabis exportation, the village that produced it got raided by special forces and is now free
if u work from home just live there cheaper then rent and all inclusive
I would leave in a hurry to. Looks like the growers lost their crop. I would like to see Albania. Maybe someday..
Unbelievable this country is importan to me due to my grandfather fan stillman Noli 14 th prime Minister of Albania and you have monarchy is well thank God for DNA due to the other side of the family I'm happy for Albania but how long can these amazing prices last is popularity grows greed follows 😀 👍 🇨🇦 🍁
Do you have to go to see Albania? It’s very nice to visit food weather people amazing
Imagine being in that ballroom with all those royal yuppies🙄. A bunch of fakes
Really despicable. That french puppet made all that money to spend it on a stupid palace and a bunch of statues instead of feeding the poor, improving the economy and building hotels... smh
here is the problem with the foreign journalists. They come for 3-4 days to write a report and they think they can understand how Albania is in reality.
What it’s to know about them, that you can tell us. Although I understand what you mean, 4 days not enough to know it all…..

How about you date the video ? This looks like from 20 years ago....how is it relevant.
the documentary is roughly 8 years old, as long as the marriage of the pretender prince last, just divorcing now lol.
Dear Europe .in italy we fought fascism and monarchy was kicked out in between ..we made it clear to be a republic as we wish all Europe to be free of such B.S . About Albanians , they know are welcome in Italy as we care and cherish theyre love for our beautiful peninsula.
This video is so old that the royal couple are now divorced after they already had a kid. 🤣
I worked with some Albanian lads years ago, top lads tbf. Big lads, looked like they'd kill ya but actually sound.
that's racist
There is nothing worse than 21st century remodeling on a budget. The French balconies with the glass... been done a million times...
I live in Greece, and know and am friends with MANY Albanians, and they ALL say how much cheaper it is there than Greece- unfortunately the pay wage is also VERY low!!!
But, they do say how beautiful it is there.
Albania - Legalization of Cannabis for Medical and Industrial Purposes. On Friday 21 July 2023, the Albanian Parliament adopted a law which legalizes medical cannabis and industrial hemp (“Cannabis Law”).
Albania is a very good country with lovely people. The people are working very hard to improve the new life every day. Miss Goldmann you have a much more problems in your country as Albania. If you can, go and help the people there to have a better life as you mean. It's very easy to schow and dicribe badly about a country, but it's difficult to do something well. This is no help of Albania. If I can I can say: Go home!
The Albanian royal family escaped from Communism and lived in exile in South Africa ( my home country ) for many years. It is good to see they are back in their homeland already 15 years ...or longer.
yes, the only country to provide refuge to ARMS DEALER (Zog's son).
Zog, the self-proclaimed ass-hole king, was a traitor to his country for coming to power with the help of serbs whom he rewarded handsomely by gifting large Albanian regions -- PLLAVA and GUCIA now part of Montenegro and MONASTIR and DIBRA now part of Macedonia.
a KING MY ASS!!! abandoning the country at its neediest hour----7 April 1939----the day Albania was attacked and occupied from fascist Italy. One could say that the World War II started with THAT invasion and not necessarily with the invasion of Poland in 1 September 1939.
the nephew, the way should be seen, is a parasite and that he should not be allowed to inherit his grandfather's palace and that it should remain people's property.
How does one become an _"expert in royalty?"_ 🤣A little after @17:00 this man is described as such and I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of such a thing.
One need only know a little history of and keep abreast of the current affairs related to most the countries that still have royal families. You'd need to write enough articles and get published enough to be recognised as an expert so magazines and other media will hire you.
The reply you are looking for is by carrying a BIG stick!
@@GafftheHorse I suppose that makes senseSo any one of us with such an interest could theoretically be an expert with such qualifications.

I grew up in Switzerland and most of the albanians in school had no respect for our culture and told me they hate swiss people although their parents were always nice and hard workers. Its mostly young people who act like that. I also got slapped and harassed by them as a kid. Nowadays Switzerland has migration problems because they let in all the scum

this Prince is not a real monarch blood. Self appointed King never worked out. However, he's accepted back as a prince and I guess that's okay for Albania. I can see all the bot comments on here, too. But this was a good video of Albania.
A recent ancestor who was President declared himself King, really sketchy and not much of a claim to the title.
But the Albanian people might decide they want a royal as a figurehead, head or state or even just as a tourist attraction.
Luckily I don't think the country will ever likely be in a position to use him to try to sell arms to dodgy authoritarian regimes as some other countries do.
Bot comments from who?
Perhaps they should consider legalizing marijuana.
Several countries are / have moved in that direction.
i saw this reportage 10 years ago why now it s 2 months old?
Prince Harry will be attending the wedding if there's good gear 🌬 💨
he's such a loser
How old is this documentary
As Republic everyone has a chance to be the head of state, but with a monarch only those descendant of the "royal family" can be in that position regardless of symbolic or not. So his grandfather was President self proclaimed himself as King of the country.
The horribleness tourist this last summer in Albania was the poor, loud Italien people, a very big shame, the are so bluffing, don’t have money, was eating in restaurants, dident pay, was in hotels, dident pay, so then the Italien president Miloni was paying about this big SHAME, so that’s the thought. Also Beginns with more American people the want to live there, only because it’s cheap, newer about the nice helpfull people….its a pitty. Also very much old Pensionits Italien, the are only in Albania for live, about its cheap, because there incoming is so little, the also think, that the are better with here bit little more money. It’s a shame for this very nice country….❤
