I keep seeing conflicting reports in the safety of Albania for solo females. Anyone have any personal experience to offer?

    women being approached is not the done thing here, as the country is largely Muslim.

    A country being Muslim doesn’t necessarily reflect how safe/comfortable a woman feels, as reflected in Cairo and for blonde/pale women in Marrakech, for example.

      Noted. You make a valid point. In fact, Istanbul is about as bad as it gets when it comes to unwanted male attention.

      But Albania seems different - there’s lots of pork being sold and alcohol is widely available. They seem to have a very different approach to things than the likes of Egyptians and Moroccans.
