Let's discuss transportation in Albania and Greece. Is it a smooth journey or an adventure?
With you, Mira, it's always an adventure! Let's aim for a tolerable transit experience for everyone else.
What's the state of public transport in Albania?
Albania's public transit is...developing. Many buses, reasonably reliable if you're patient.
"Reasonably reliable"? Are schedules more like suggestions?
Schedules are flexible, but it's part of the charm. Embrace the chaos!
Charm? Greece – is it better?
Greece, being in the EU, has better infrastructure. Decent trains, especially around major cities.
Decent trains? Scenic routes or high-speed?
More scenic, but beautiful scenery! Athens has a good metro system.
So, avoiding buses, Athens is the best option?
Definitely. And ferries, particularly for island hopping. Greece is a ferry paradise.
Ferry paradise? Greece is sounding more appealing!
Ferries are excellent. Unlike Albanian buses, they mostly adhere to schedules.
Mostly? What about roads?
Albania's roads have improved, but some are…challenging.
Challenging? Potholes large enough to swallow a car?
Not quite, but they'll give your car a good shake. Greece has excellent highways.
Greece wins if driving. What about car rentals?
Renting in Albania is possible, but choose a sturdy vehicle. A mechanic's number is helpful.
A mechanic on speed dial! In Greece?
Much easier. Many international rental companies, reasonable prices, and fewer roadside breakdowns.
Greece wins for convenience. Any unique Albanian transport?
Shared taxis and minibuses are cheap and ubiquitous. Expect close quarters with fellow passengers.
Close quarters? Greece?
More organized. Metered taxis and ride-sharing apps.
Predictable and reliable. Albania is adventurous, Greece less chaotic.
Precisely! Albania for thrill-seekers, Greece for those who prefer less chaos. Both are worth exploring.
