Pls add infoAlbania is a great country for hitchhiking. Although beware there is some kind of taxi 'mafia' on the Albanian side of the border when entering Albania from Greece between Ioannina and Gjirokastër. Twice now taxi drivers there have prevented me from hitching further into Albania.

== Personal Experiences ==
In July 2022 (and back in ~2017 a similar situation occurred) we walked across the border and stopped a ride going to Sarandë between the border and the taxi stands. The taxi drivers rushed over and told us and the driver that its illegal to hitchhike there. I guess the taxi guys threatened the driver with something, and he was afraid to take us after that.
Best to not try and stop a car until you're past the taxi stands and out of sight of them. keep walking to the gas station around the corner and if they ask where your going tell them you're meeting someone. Keep walking further down the road if they hassle you at the gas station.
