Choosing between them
Montenegro is more compact and easier to cover in a week, and the Bay of Kotor has no Albanian equivalent.
Albania has more coastline, better archaeology, higher mountains and lower prices, and it takes longer to see.
They share the Alps and Lake Shkodër, and the crossing north of Shkodër is straightforward — a combined trip is easy.
