Conclusion: Albania is primarily a summer half-year destination (April–October). The best mix of weather, prices, and experience is offered in May/June and September. In the high summer (July/August), you should prefer the coast and avoid the hot inland. Winter is suitable for Tirana and cultural short trips.
