Penjelasan ringkas

Albania and Greece sit on the same sea and their coasts look similar in photographs. Greece is more expensive and much more organised for tourists. Albania is cheaper and less predictable.

How they differ

	Albania	Greece
Cost	Materially cheaper outside peak coastal weeks	Higher across accommodation, food and transport
Infrastructure	Improving quickly; still uneven	Mature and predictable
Islands	Very few; Sazan is restricted	The defining feature of the country
Beaches	Pebble on the Riviera, sand in the centre and north	Enormous range across the islands and mainland
Archaeology	Butrint, Apollonia, Byllis — quiet and underrated	Among the densest concentrations in the world
Crowds	Concentrated on a short coast in a short season	Spread across a much larger area
Getting around	Car effectively required	Ferries, buses and domestic flights work well
EU / Schengen	Outside both	In both

Choosing between them

Greece is the safer choice if you want everything to work and you are prepared to pay for it, and its islands have no Albanian equivalent.

Albania is the better value and the more interesting trip if you are willing to hire a car and accept that some things will be improvised.

They combine well: the Sarandë–Corfu ferry takes half an hour, which makes a two-country trip genuinely easy.
