Summarized the parts about Gjirokaster and Tirana, added info on Himarë
'''{{Saranda}}Sarandë''' is a city in [[Albania]]. There are quite many tourists coming from island Corfu. Therefore, the prices are quite expensive comparing to the other cities in [[Albania]]. It is quite difficult to hitchhike out for free due to tourists and its location of city centre.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards Himarë, [[Vlorë]] , [[Tirana]], East towards [[Gjirokaster]]===Walk a couple of kilometers south of the city, until you go in the gas station in Qafë Gjashtë. All Walking to the roundabouts where SH99 meets SH8 (towards Himarë), SH98 or SH78 (towards Tirana & Gjirokastra) meet, is a very good idea as these are spacious places, cutting out most of the cars pass from local traffic. However, it takes some time and effort as these are ~3km uphill, so you might consider taking a taxi there to go anywhere in [[Albania]].
=== South towards [[Greece]] ===
There are two ways to go in [[Greece]], The one from Kakavia, thats leads to [[Ioannina]], and the other that goes in [[Igoumenitsa]]. Going to Ioannina is way more easy, because there are more cars, so avoid the other road, except if your goal is Igoumenitsa (ex: if you want to take the boat to [[Italy]]).
== Places to avoid ==
Avoid all the touristic places like restaurants with menus in english, as they are made for tourists. and you will pay more.
For swimming, better hitchhike to some village nearby, as Ksamil, [[Borsh]], Lukovë etc.
== Accommodation and Sleep ==Wild camping in the villages and beaches nearby is perfectly fine, safe and free.  == Other useful info ===== Eating cheap ===Eat burek, they sell it around the city for 50Lek(35 cents, 0.35 Euro)Drink dhallë (turkish[[Nomad: Ayran) in the places that they sell burek, same price, very delicious. There is a place to eat, in the right part of the fountain in the middle of the city, a plate of food for 150-200lek(1.1-1.4Euro) === Locals ===All taxi drivers will ask you if you need a taxi, other people will offer a hotel, bar etc. Don't pay attention and say No.There is always a better price, so insist for everything that you buy. The hotel price can go from 50 euro to 15 if they see you walking away.Sarandë]]
