How to Travel from Kenya to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi to Tirana (TIA) is a well-connected journey. The most frequent and popular route for Kenyans is flying via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines, which offers seamless daily connections directly into the heart of Albania.
Other excellent options include flying with Qatar Airways through Doha (DOH) or Emirates via Dubai (DXB). These routes provide a high level of comfort and multiple scheduling options for your Balkan expedition.

Currency and Financial Tips: Shilling to Albanian Lek
While you are accustomed to the Kenyan Shilling (KES), you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. It is important to note that while Tirana is modernizing quickly, Albania remains a society where cash is essential, especially for local transport, traditional markets, and smaller cafes.
We highly recommend carrying Euros to exchange upon your arrival, as it is the most widely accepted and easily traded foreign currency in the country. To learn more about secure payment handling and our banking details, please visit our Payment Methods and Banking Details page.
