Private Tirana to Skopje Transfer with Ohrid or Prizren Stop

Summary

Door-to-Door Ride from Albania to North Macedonia

You’ll get a smooth private ride from Tirana or Durres straight to Skopje—with an easygoing stop in either Ohrid or Prizren. Local drivers share tips, there’s no stress about timing, and you travel at your own pace in comfort.

What’s the experience like?

I still remember the quiet hum of the Opel as we pulled away from Tirana just after sunrise. Our driver, Erion, was already waiting outside the hotel lobby—holding up a sign with my name, grinning like he’d known me for years. He helped with bags and pointed out a bakery across the street where locals grab byrek for breakfast. The car smelled faintly of fresh coffee—he’d brought his own thermos and offered us a cup before we set off.

The road out of town was smooth, and Erion chatted about hidden spots in Skopje and how traffic can get tricky near the border if you hit it late afternoon. We had the option to stop in Ohrid or Prizren—honestly, both sounded tempting. We picked Ohrid. The air felt cooler there, even in summer, and you could hear church bells echoing through narrow streets while we sipped coffee at a lakeside café called “Kaj Kanevche.” It wasn’t rushed; we had time to wander down cobbled lanes and watch fishermen untangle their nets.

Back on the road, I noticed how much more relaxed I felt compared to taking a bus or figuring out trains. The van was spotless and cool (thankful for that AC), and Erion shared stories about Good Albania’s reputation—he’d been driving these routes for years. He even knew which border guard liked football talk and which one didn’t bother with small talk at all.
