Country guide
Albania
The Mediterranean's last quiet coastline.
Albania surprised us at every bend. Turquoise coves, mountain villages, espresso for the price of a smile, and some of the warmest hospitality in Europe. We came for a week and left planning the next trip.
Highlights
- Driving the Albanian Riviera
- Hiking the Valbona to Theth pass
- Ottoman-era Berat and Gjirokastër
- Fresh seafood in Ksamil
A few honest tips
- ✦Rent a small car, the coastal roads are narrow but unforgettable.
- ✦Cash is still king outside the bigger cities.
