Albania is one of the Balkans’ countries located southwest of the Balkan peninsula. Albania has long been a Mediterranean European enigma that has now opened up to a much larger field of tourism happenings than it did years ago. Its rumpled mountains, fortress towns, and dazzling-in-blue beaches are not anymore as rumored on the world’s travel maps. With its old history of struggle for freedom and ancient culture, known for its remarkable victories against the Ottoman empire and named by the locals as the Land of Eagles, Albania offers an enchanting experience for holiday and tourist activities throughout the whole year.

When planning your trip to Albania, keep in mind that you can start hiking in the morning and end up swimming in the sea on the same day. Albanian sightlines are in hand in a few hours.
