Destination Information for Albania

Following the end of the communist movement in the country in 1991, Albania has slowly opened itself up to tourism, and more and more people are beginning to realise everything it has to offer. Situated in the north of the country, the Accursed Mountains exhibit Albania’s most aesthetic scenery, as the array of valleys and peaks are sure to make visitors stop and admire their surroundings.

A stretch of picturesque Mediterranean coastline creates some beautiful beaches, with opportunities for relaxation and adventure– particularly in some brilliant snorkelling spots. Dubbed ‘The Albanian Riviera’, the coast is so plentiful there is space enough for thousands of tourists to enjoy. Additionally, Albanian cities win visitors over with their charm, especially Berat, which displays a striking contrast of white Ottoman houses against the backdrop of the mountainside.
