The border can be reached from the Albanian city of Elbasan in a shared taxi for 600 lekë (July 2009).

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.

Experiences

  • Quarim had major problems crossing this border with the autobus from Tirana in May 2008, because they found cocaine in the bus. After he gave a bribe (which could have been dangerous), they let him go.
