Great spot. Lot of tourist and cars are going slow because of the roundabout. Eventually nice Albanian guy took us to Tirana.rating: 5/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 106 km ↓

One of the first cars I stopped took me directly to Elbasan (I wanted to go there) but he was continuing to Tirana, so if thats your destination this spot might work as well. A lot of space for cars to stop!rating: 5/5, wait: 1 min, ride: 53 km ←

Good spot, speed bump slows all the cars down so they have time to look at you. We were really lucky because some hikers we saw in Theth stopped for us and took us to vlora (i had a sign Tirana, wanting to go to tirana and then to some beach)rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 220 km ↓

I went to Ohrid from Pogradec. I choosed not to go the way through Saint Naum Monastery, where there is less traffic.Several cars and buses came but they mainly showed me where the buses are. Then I was dropped off at the intersection between the road to Tirana and the one to Ohrid.

If you want to go schkoder/montenegro, DO NOT USE THIS ROAD!!!although it looks more direct, it is a tinyass single track mountain route with basically zero cars, all going super slow. itll take a whole day to get there. stick to the main road (e.g. a car to tirana). get out at the main road junction near lac (there is a good spot) and hitch north from there.
I got out here, hitched part way along, and then realised my mistake and hitched back, losing 5 hours. the first cars here did stop so it is friendly hitching, but its super slow, nobody will go direct to schkoder here.

Not the best spot. People are going a little bit fast and there is just a little space to stop.After 30 minutes some older guy on a bike insisted on going with him. So we went to the firts roundabout where he stoppedin the middle. He was stopping the cars and saying them to take us. After few minutes some guy rescued us and took us near Tirana. We are heading to Sarande

Right next to the shuttle service. This looks like a bad spot and I only had a low resolution screenshot of the map so I thought the other green dot was this place. I was almost tempted to take a shuttle to the near village 25 min away (5€, tourist price I guess), but a ride straight to Tirana made me glad I didn't do it.rating: 3/5, wait: 50 min, ride: 84 km ↖
