What to pack
In summer, bring light clothing plus a sweater for the inland areas and evenings. In winter, while "mid-season" clothes may suffice for the coast, much warmer clothing is needed for the mountainous regions. Don’t forget sun protection, as well as rain gear and mosquito repellent when in season.
Communications
Phone
International dialing code: (00 +) 355.
Internet
Time difference
Local time: .
Like its Montenegrin neighbor, Albania shares the same time as France (UTC+1), so there’s no time difference. However, it’s one hour behind Greece.
Electricity
230 V (50 Hz) with "French-style" plugs (officially types C and F), which will require an adapter for North American plugs.
Opening hours
Laundromats
Local tourist offices
Weights and measures
Albania uses the metric and decimal system, just like France.
