4 nights in a budget private room in a hostel or a very basic guesthouse/apartment. Expect shared bathrooms or very small private ones. Example options: Tirana Backpacker Hostel (private room), Home Hostel (private room), or basic Airbnb apartments. Estimated 30 EUR/night for 2 people.

Flights: Return flights from BER to TIA for 2 people with a budget airline (e.g., Ryanair/Wizz Air) at ~120 EUR per person (240 EUR total). This price is for a small personal item only and requires immediate booking for these dates. Airport transfers: Rinas Express bus 4 EUR/person/way (4 EUR * 2 people * 2 ways = 16 EUR total). All prices converted to USD.

Daily food budget for 2 people (12.5 EUR/person/day). This is extremely budget-conscious: consists of cheap bakery breakfasts (1-2 EUR p.p.), street food/picnics for lunch (4-6 EUR p.p.), and budget local restaurant dinners or self-cooked meals (6-8 EUR p.p.). Includes water but minimal other drinks. Assumes 4.5 days of food (arrival day lunch/dinner, 3 full days, departure day breakfast). All prices converted to USD.

This budget is for very minimal paid activities. It allows for one cheap museum entrance fee for both (e.g., Bunk'Art 2 at ~4.5 EUR p.p. or similar, or just 10 EUR for small souvenirs/coffee). The itinerary focuses on free walking tours and exploring parks/exteriors of landmarks. All prices converted to USD.
