Hitchhiking out
East into Macedonia
Position yourself a hundred meters down from the border and put your thumb out. Alternatively, ask the parked truck drivers. Plenty of trucks pass through this border crossing, and you may even get a lift as far as Bulgaria.
West into Albania
There's a fork in the road pretty soon after the border (some 3km) where you can either go right towards Elbasan and Tirana or left towards Pogradec and Korçe. If you got dropped off at the border, it might be worthwhile to walk here.
