montenegro vs albania: which is better for a relaxing getaway?
So, here’s the situation: a couple of us are planning a week-long trip with some old friends, just to unwind and catch up before life gets even busier. We’ve narrowed it down to Montenegro or Albania, but honestly, we’re torn.
I’ve read that Albania is bigger, but since we only have a week, I’m not sure if that even matters. What really gets me is that everyone keeps saying both places are beautiful, but nobody tells you about the little things—like, is it actually relaxing, or are you stuck in traffic half the time? Are the beaches really as peaceful as they look in the photos, or is it all just clever camera angles?
And let’s be real, we’re not looking to spend a fortune. I’m hoping for good food, some nice walks, and maybe a spot where we can just sit and chat without feeling rushed. But then I start worrying—what if we pick the wrong place and end up regretting it? I don’t want to come back feeling more tired than when I left!
Has anyone here actually spent a week in either Montenegro or Albania? Which one felt more relaxing, and did you run into any surprises (good or bad)? If you had to pick just one for a chill, budget-friendly trip, which would you choose—and why?
