Albania: Discover Europe's last unturned stone
Immerse yourself in a unique culture
Away from the bright lights and beaches of the Riviera, there’s an authentic and traditional side to Albania that tourists rarely see. Men and women in traditional clothing, old world wine estates that stretch back to Roman times and the sound of iso-polyphony folk music ringing from rural villages and towns. Albania’s cultural heritage has long been hidden and here’s where all is revealed.
Get lost in the nature
Hiking in Albania is an experience: adventurous, original, breathtaking and heartfelt. Between the clear bays of the Mediterranean Sea and the rugged mountain ranges of the Balkans, there are numerous hiking areas that are well worth a visit. Among the best known are the national parks of Theth, Tomorr and Llogara.
Experience the Mediterranean waves
The Albanian Riviera is characterized by a constellation of rocky and isolated beaches, surrounded by scenic hills and vertiginous mountains covered in lush and untamed vegetation that is typical of the Mediterranean.
Charming and hospitable villages were built over the centuries between the mountains and the sea, places where visitors can find a temporary home to enjoy the splendid waters and breathtaking vistas of the Ionian Sea.
