Packing for a vacation in Albania can be a bit daunting, but you should prepare ahead. Be mindful not to overpack. Also, remember to focus your packing for the season. Most people vacationing in Albania chose the summer months to enjoy the beautiful Albania Riviera beaches and warm, clear water.
Here are the 9 essential items you will want to pack for your trip to Albania, plus a list of 12 items that are extremely helpful to have and then our recommended all-inclusive list of do not forget stuff.
1. Electrical Adapter
The number one must-have item when traveling to Albania is an Electrical Adapter. If you don’t have an electronic adapter, you will eventually have to buy one on your trip. Although they are not very expensive, even in Albania, skip adding tasks to your trip by planning.
2. Portable Phone Charger
There is nothing worse than having your mobile phone die repeatedly while you are enjoying your trip. You want to select a charger that fits your size, shape, and weight preference. We recommend Anker Portable Charger. This changer replenishes battery levels quickly and fits in any pocket easily.
3. Smart Backpack
A Smart Travel Backpack for daily trips around 32 liters with a built-in charger is optimal. You will need something to carry a laptop and everyday items on your journey and small enough to use as a daily bag for essentials.
4. Passport Wallet
We struggle to get our passports and identification ready at every checkpoint and gate. It is a bit scary taking the information out, holding it, putting it back away at every checkpoint. Purchase a Passport Wallet to hold your passport, plane ticket, and belongings when moving through airport security, customs, and gates. It is funny how one simple solution removes an entire set of problems forever.
5. Amazon Fire Stick
When packing for an Albania vacation an Amazon Fire Stick may be one of the smartest travel hacks there is. An Amazon Fire Stick gives you and your family access to Prime TV, Netflix, Slingbox, etc., on any TV with an HDMI connection. This one trick solved all the downtime issues we had during rainy days. Not all the features work when you are out of your home country, but there is plenty to get through a rainy day or sleepless night. Double-check that your Airbnb or hotel room has a Smart TV and a WiFI connection in advance.
6. Packing Cubes
Packing Cubes will help organize clothing in your luggage and keep soiled and unsoiled items separated. They also help when removing single pieces of clothing from your suitcase. The other clothing in your suitcase will not end up all over the place when you use packing cubes. They come in several different sizes—the large cubes for shirts, shorts, pants, and smaller cubes for underwear and socks. The zippers make them easy to open and close. When closed, it compacts the clothing for a tighter, cleaner fit.
7. Camera
If you are new to photography and are interested in a DSLR Camera that will take professional-grade photos and video, we suggest the Canon EOS Rebel T7. This camera is 24.1 Megapixel, and the CMOS Sensor helps capture rich details and vibrant colors. It also has built-in WiFi so that you can share pictures and videos immediately. It is reasonably priced, easy to use, and comes with an 18-55mm lens. We are not professionals by any photography standards, and we needed a camera we could understand quickly and take great photos.
8. Suitcase With Wheels
It helps to have a solid suitcase with durable spinner wheels and can roll on flat and rough terrains. Albania’s landscape is less than perfect, and this is the one item where cost is less important than quality. Get something durable, and you will be happy you did.
9. Comfortable Shoes
In Albania, comfortable shoes are a must, and they can also be a lifesaver during your flight and while moving through airports. The sidewalks and roads in Albania can be treacherous terrain, even in the center of the cities.
