Albania is one of our favorite countries and we can only speak highly of all the beautiful things you can do in Albania. The nature in Albania is phenomenal, including rugged mountains, rivers, lakes and fantastic beaches. Complete with several ancient UNESCO cities and dreamy bargains… simply the best holiday destinations.
Albania is a small but diverse country located near the "magic" 45th parallel. This means that the country can grow a huge range of crops such as chestnuts, sage, pomegranates, cherries, plums, grapes and much more. Beginning in the north between the Bjeshke i Nemuna, or Albanian Alps, the country apparently unfolds and extends to the sea. Central Albania consists of plains before smaller mountains and valleys rise and fall into the shockingly blue Ionian Sea.
Beyond vague memories of its communist past, few travelers know much about Albania. Its rolling mountains and pristine beaches, lands dotted with historic Roman ruins and beautiful Ottoman cities remain largely undiscovered. Most never see the inviting blue lakes or the picturesque valleys occupied by the extremely hospitable locals, and instead overlook the country for its much more popular neighbors.
