News
News and updates to the guide: new vetted places, seasonal tips, and changes worth knowing before a trip. Albania changes — venues open and close, prices and rental terms shift, new routes appear — and this section keeps the guide up to date.
We don’t chase “hot” news for the sake of traffic. What lands here is what actually affects trip planning: what we’ve re-checked, what we’ve updated by season, and which places we’ve added after cross-checking with locals and guides. The entries show a date — so you always know how current the information is.
