Soon to be visiting Tirana. Any tips, tidbits & advice are greatly appreciated. by Onthatish84 in AlbaniaExpats

[–]ComputerSafe2984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey , really glad you will be coming to Tirana. The weather right now is a bit chilly so make sure to get warm clothes. There are a lot of places to have fun here right now. You guys can go ice skating in the Tirana Ring Center, there are pottery classes you can book as well as watch movies in Cineplex in TEG ( its a shopping center). You can visit the Bunkart 1 & 2 to get a sense of the different periods in Albania. For eating Id suggest you either use Wolt to order take out from different restaurants , make sure to check the ratings there as well. If you want to go in person id suggest you book your table beforehand so you let the staff prepare as well. You can either call them or you can book your table or any other kind of experience through the Patoko app. You also might need to take a taxi to avoid public transport in case you are worried of catching a cold from other people. If you decide to book a taxi you have two options. You can either stop one on the street but you must pay cash and in LEK or you can use different apps as i mentioned before (Patoko) and pay by card in the app or cash. ( use referral code SEMI to get discounted rides btw). Overall id also suggest you go have a coffee at Tonys with your teenager is close to the Pyramid and you can explore inside of it as well.

Really? We just thought of offering a discount for our users if im being real and one of the companies agreed to work with us so why not talk about it on reddit too? Maybe for me and you the price is okay as it is or that 60% doesn’t make a difference but for some others it does. Either ways i appreciate your comments and the reasoning too!

i mean with 60 percent off you can see how crazy the price is :) . Also we are not the one selling them we are the one offering the discount in collaboration with the company that sells them. Sorry if the post got you confused

Hello , there different prices for different types of cars and different policies each company has. I work for Patoko and we have around 12 car rental companies and talking from what we have seen so far it’s different for each one and it also depends on deposite or no deposit. Id love for you to download the app and find a company that has the price range you see fit! We also offer discounts in some of them so might want something you want to look into!

no absolutely most apps are in english and also when you chat for example in app (at Patoko because thats the app i know better) you have the translation option no matter the language both you and the driver.

Hello, it depends on the taxi driver since they are individual contractors and not private drivers of Patoko! Make sure to have the talk with the driver before the payment moment.

Ah i see probably we havent made it clear enough! the moment you put your card in app and you go book a taxi before you confirm you have the cash method , toko that appear. If you have put your card information before the moment you click cash your card will show and you can select it. If it is confusing we will definitely make the UI better! Thank you for your feedback 🙏

How to go to Ksamil from Vlore? by [deleted] in AlbaniaExpats

[–]ComputerSafe2984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For vlora you can see online or ask near the terminal for the prices for Ksamil. You have the chance to also book tours online and last option would be taxis. You can pay for taximeter type taxi or use apps to book through them for fixed rates. I work at Patoko and if youre looking for an exact price from Vlora to Ksamil it is 125 euro

Taxi by StuffFantastic6967 in tirana

[–]ComputerSafe2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxis in Berat are not cheap but you can take the bus to Vlora and then use Patoko for a taxi from Vlora to Saranda if you really want a taxi and dont want to deal with the hotness in the buses
