Data on the Albanian Riviera and in the Alps
Albania has grown into a favourite for beach holidays, with many travellers heading for Saranda, Ksamil and the Vlorë coast. Driving along coastal roads and over mountain passes calls for maps, and guesthouses and restaurants are often contacted through messaging apps.
The eSIM uses One Albania and Vodafone. In towns and coastal resorts the connection is usually good. In mountain areas such as Theth and Valbona, and in small villages, the signal can vary or be missing, so download offline maps.
Albania is not yet covered by EU roaming rules. The EU has started talks on extending them to the Western Balkans, but nothing is in force, so if your plan is from an EU/EEA country, roaming here may be charged separately. Check with your provider. A local SIM is possible, but an eSIM saves a shop visit. The plan is data only. Addresses are not always easy to find by search in Albania, so save maps and accommodation pins beforehand. Mobile data also helps when you need to locate the car hire pick-up point.
