Road conditions/tracks in Albania: recommended routes?
hi there
we traveled through Albania this summer in our long Espace 3
No major issues—it’s true that some villages have slightly rough roads through them, but overall it’s fine. The Berat–Këlcyrë road is 4x4 only, and the southern route isn’t in great shape, but if you take your time, you can get through normally.
We did the coast from Berat to the Greek border, then Ohrid, Tirana, Kërçovë, Burel, Peshkopi, Fierze, Shkodër, and finished up in Montenegro.
Cheers

Road/piste conditions in Albania: recommended routes?
Hi there,
You can find quite a bit of info online. Campsites are around 15–20 € for two people.
We did about 1/3 wild camping and the rest at campsites—you’ll find plenty of info on the site below. Everywhere we went, we saw the spots listed, so the info is reliable.
http://fr.camping.info/albanie/campings
Here are the places we stopped at, but we pretty much covered all of Albania except the Montenegro border:
In the south: - Blue Eye site (wild camping, but there are small bungalows) - Totoreto by the sea - Farma Sotira in the mountains: http://www.farmasotira.com/thecomplex.html - Pesku on Lake Ohrid
Central Albania: - Oasis Ala Chiesa (religious community) - Paemer - Near Tirana: Hotel Baron (we actually got a great air-conditioned room for 20 €). When coming from Elbasan after passing Petrelë Castle, take the old road to the right instead of the newly built four-lane highway.
North: - Camping Albania: http://www.camping-albania.eu/
Honestly, you won’t find any regions without villages, restaurants, or fuel stations.
It’s hard to give a full answer like this—feel free to ask for more details if you need them!
If you’d like, we can also connect by phone.

Hi there,
we spent 3 great weeks this summer
Ancona - Igoumenitsa - Albania - Montenegro - Split - Ancona
Our route in Albania:
Butrint - Sarandë - Vlorë - Fier - Berat - Gjirokastër - Përmet - Leskovik - Korçë - Ohrid - Tirana - Durrës - Krujë - Burrel - Peshkopi - Kukës - Fier - Koman Lake - Bajram Curri - Shkodër
We’re traveling in a camper van equipped with a motorhome setup. The road conditions are much better than you might expect. You can find campgrounds, gas stations even in remote areas, ATMs in all small towns, restaurants everywhere, and car wash stations too.
Happy to share more info if you need!

Est-ce facile de conduire au Togo?
Carburant pas de probleme
Circulation correcte sans danger particulier, a Lomé il faut etre tres attentifs aux motos.
Route en assez mauvais etat a partir d'Atakpame, donc il faut faire etre vigilant aux nids de poules. Les pistes de danyi sont bonnes
Il vaut mieux avoir un 4*4 mais avec leurs taxis brousses ils passent de partout
On a fait 2500km sans prbs

Est-ce facile de conduire au Togo?
Nous revenons de 15j de decouverte du Togo
Pas de prb particulier de conduite . A lomé il faut etre tres attentif aux motos, mais en dehors de lomé la circulation n'est pas dense.
Il faut un 4*4 , c'est mieux, car il ne faut pas hesiter a prendre les pistes , on decouvre plein de choses.
Les routes sont en assez mauvais etat, plus on va dans le nord plus les routes on de mauvaises portions. Nous avons fait environ 2500kms et allé jusqu'a Kandé sans problèmes.
