Tirana - Ohrid with some detours Apr 22, 2009

Dear All,

Would anyone be interested in travelling from Tirana to Ohrid with some detours in Albania? I would be interested to see Vlore/Durres/Berat/Gjirokaster. This could take a few days.

On the way back, straight to Tirana.

Csaba

Planes, trains and autos Tirana to Ohrid Apr 30, 2009

Hi everyone, I think I'll do the same. Are there still spots left in rent-a-cars? When do we leave from Tirana and when will we be back (I need to get air tickets soon!)?

Thanks!!!

Looking forward to a great time,

John

Hi John and others,
I've just bought my ticket and I'd advise you to do the same (it was a bit more expensive than a couple of weeks ago - 197 €). This is for those who fly from Italy and Liège (Belgium): www.belleair.it. I'll fly on the 28 of June from Pisa and fly back on the 9 of July. As soon as we know how many "Albanians" we are, we'll organize a powwow in Tirana with the aid of locals, a car to Oh

I'm looking forward to take part in the conference! Is an official (written) invitation necessary?

Thank you!

[Редактировалось 2009-02-15 17:21 GMT]


Anna, according to the information I have from the Macedonian embassy in Zagreb (Croatia), an official written invitation is necessary to obtain the Macedonian visa. My wife happens to be in the same position as you - she's a Belorusian citizen holding temporary Croatian residence. I wonder whether there's a possibility of getting such a document.

Regards and looking forward to meeting you all in Ohrid,
Davor

Hi Paola,

I just got my ticket, arriving on the 28th as well in Tirana (very late).
I'm working on some travel plans to leave Albania on Wednesday for Ohrid. Have you reserved a hotel or anything in Tirana?

I have to be back in Albania on Sunday July 5th because my flight is early the next morning.

I'll send you some travel itinerary options shortly.

Looking forward to the trip! and conference incidentally!

John

Ok Paola, this could be a good solution. I'm going to find out about renting a furnished apartment for 2 to 4 people in case there are others who decide to join us. I won't have the options until May 27th however. Then we can compare. I'm also having someone look into the best car/transport rental options.

I'll keep you posted!

Thessaloniki-Ohrid: car/taxi Jun 20, 2009

Hi, all. I'm flying in to Thessaloniki for the conference on Friday 3rd July. The travel agency say they can arrange a car transfer from Thessaloniki to Ohrid for me, but it's expensive (€120-150 one way!). Is there anyone who'd be interested in sharing the cost with me? Is anyone else flying in to Thessaloniki that day? They say up to 3 passengers can travel in the car.

Caroline
