Albania
The land of bunkers and beaches.
Albania is one of those countries that seems to fly under the radar when you think about Mediterranean getaways. It’s a small country that seems to have it all. You can swim in the turquoise waters of the Albanian Riviera, hike the scenic Albanian Alps, or sip on a coffee in towns riddled with history from the old empires of the world.
The tastes of traditional Balkan, Italian, and Greek food can be found everywhere. The influences of these cultures stand deep at the heart of Albania. Mosques and churches appear on cobblestone streets, castles perching on hilltops overlook them, and ancient ruins are unearthed just miles away.
Mix all these things together with the warm hospitality of the people and you have an extraordinary and diverse country.
