How to get to Tirana
Although we took the ferry from Bari, Italy to Durres, Albania, then a bus to get to Tirana, it probably would have been much easier to just fly. You can fly into Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA) with most airlines, or subsidiaries thereof. From here, you can take the bus or a taxi to get to the Tirana city center. The bus company is called LU-NA SH.P.K (also known as the Rinas Express) and runs from 7am to 10 pm, 7 days a week, at a cost of 400 Albanian Lek (about 4 Euro), one way. If you intend to venture TO the airport, you can catch this bus behind the Palace of Opera and Ballet in the center of Tirana. The journey takes 30 min. to 1 hour depending on traffic.
