Is this trip right for you?
Don’t let the heat keep you from exploring the world! Summer temperatures can be very high in these areas, which can make things uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water.
There will be some long travel days, but the journey is worth it and you will make stops along the way to break up the drive and border crossings can vary in time – some patience may be required.
Albania and Montenegro are developing travel destinations so expectations should be managed in terms of amenities, particularly in comparison with other more established European destinations.
