In collaboration with my colleagues based in Malta<\/a> and Italy<\/a>, we wanted to paint an honest, realistic picture of what life actually<\/em> costs in these three countries. We’re not just showing numbers from the internet, but real examples of what we feel in our wallets and cards, based on our experiences living here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re someone trying to figure out where to live, or you\u2019re just curious about how prices compare, this might give you some clarity, so I suggest having a read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albania (Tirana<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tirana remains affordable by European standards; however, like we’ve mentioned in our other articles, Albania is not as cheap as it used to be. A one-bedroom apartment in the city center usually rents for around \u20ac500 – \u20ac500<\/strong><\/strong>+\/month<\/strong>, while outside the center, you\u2019ll find options for less. A few months ago, when I was doing some research, I found that even finding apartments around \u20ac500<\/strong> was a bit challenging, in areas around the centre. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand is rising, but locals still dominate the market, which helps keep prices relatively stable. Buying property is also an option, especially for long-term expats, but the property prices have increased significantly this year. You can read more about this topic here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malta (Valletta\/Sliema Area<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n


According to 2025 expatax.mt reports<\/a>, prices in Malta\u2019s capital region are high and continue to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
