Albania Travel Podcast with Endrit Hoxha

Albania sits in Southern Europe along the Strait of Otranto, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet. Its terrain is mostly mountains and hills, with small plains along the coast and a mild temperate climate. The podcast follows a single resident approach, settling somewhere long enough to understand how Albanians actually travel their own country. Across the series he moves from Tirana and the port of Vlorë to the southern town of Përmet, then north to Shkodër near the Montenegrin border. The episodes connect these places through shared history: Ottoman rule, the Italian and German occupations, and the communist period that followed. This is the range the show covers. The show unfolds over at least two years, so the cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers shape each visit. He returns to places in different seasons, watching the interior stay cooler and wetter than the coast. That slow return is how the show builds a resident's map of Albania, one pass, one market town, one shoreline at a time. Endrit Hoxha lives in Albania and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Endrit is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?

    Last Autumn Morning in Korçë

    On my final full day in Korçë, I walk the Old Bazaar one last time, reflect on the city’s unique serenade culture, and prepare for the long drive south to the Riviera. We talk about the rhythm of autumn here, the cost of living, and what it means to leave a place you’ve grown to love. ☕ Enjoying the show?
