Hitchhiking out
North towards Vlorë Tirana
Walk a couple of kilometers south of the city, until you go in the gas station in Qafë Gjashtë. All the cars pass from 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.
