How to Travel from Syria to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Damascus International Airport (DAM) or Aleppo International Airport (ALP) to Tirana (TIA) involves connecting through major international aviation hubs. The most reliable and popular routes for Syrian citizens typically include:
Via Istanbul (IST/SAW): Flying via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines or AJet is the most frequent and efficient route, offering smooth transit directly into the heart of the Balkans.
Via Beirut (BEY): Many travelers choose to transit through Lebanon, connecting with regional flights to European hubs.
Via Dubai (DXB): flydubai offers consistent connections from Damascus to Tirana via Dubai, providing a high level of comfort for the journey.

Currency and Financial Tips: Pound to Albanian Lek
While you use the Syrian Pound (SYP) at home, you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. It is important to know that while card payments are growing in Tirana's modern districts, Albania remains a cash-oriented society, especially in local markets, traditional taverns, and rural guesthouses.
We strongly suggest carrying Euros or US Dollars to exchange upon your arrival, as they are the most widely recognized and easily traded foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure payment handling and financial tips, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
