Destination overview

With the Adriatic Sea to the north and the Ionian Sea to the south, Albania harbours the most beautiful virgin beaches in the Adriatic. Despite serious economic difficulties inherited from Enver Hoxha's extreme communism, the country was able to preserve its captivating history notably through its monuments. In Tirana, its capital, most tourist attractions are concentrated around Skanderbeg Square. As for inland towns, they offer a wonderful journey back in time. The journey ends 9,032 ft high, at the summit of Mount Korab. Do not forget to visit the magnificent archaeological site in the town of Butrint, which has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1992.

pros

  •  The country has not been saturated by a tourist invasion.
  •  90 mile coastal area with white sand beaches and untouched coves.
  •  Five big lakes.
  •  Towns and landscapes of another era.

cons

  •  Limited tourist equipment and poor state of roads.
  •  The presence of the Mafia.
  •  The current state of the country is deplorable. The war in Kosovo caused thousands of Kosovar citizens to flee to Albania.

Albania Travel guide

Albania Holidays in Albania, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Here, distances should be multiplied by five, before getting an itinerary. Do not get fooled by the apparent proximity of destinations as indicated on maps as Albania remains behind the times.
There are many untouched beaches and coves, which are difficult to find on the rest of the Mediterranean coast.
The town of Gjirokasta, with its medieval roofing-slate houses, inspired the most wonderful novel of Ismaļl Kadare ('Chronicle in Stone').
Lastly, the ancient site of Butrint, opening both to the blue Ionian sea and to the green of an inside lake, is a wonder.
