Albania: The Land Waiting to be Discovered – VIDEO

Published: 18.12.2023
Amazing beaches, high mountains, beautiful national parks, lakes, traidional farmers, grandiose castle. Albania is a country of many great attractions and sights and it still retains its status of a land not yet discovered by mass tourism. Our following series will take you to some places which are worth traveling to.

Before we get down to dissenction of individual places, let's us sum up some practical tips and information first.

The best way to get to Albania is by plane. Even though there are not many inbound flights, the traffic in Tirana's only international airport has been increasing. Fortunately. Alternatively, you can ride down here from the north from Greece or travel by car.

What about getting around in Albania? The best way is to rent a car. Roads leading to major spots ahve been renovated and are in good condition. On the other hand, traveling to remote places is rather difficult. We highly recommend to rent an offroad car. Just in case.

You can get around by buses or local vans. Prices are very pleasant. The most popular areas are really easy to reach. However, traveling by public transport is quite an experience.

When to go to Albania? The best weather is, surprisingly, in summer. To enjoy the country without tourist crowd, it is better to travel there off season.

Prices in Albania are low. The food is usually cheap and quite of high quality. Out of the most tourist heavy areas, accommodation can cost you about 15 euro for a room per night with a breakfast for two.

Durrës

In our upcoming series, we present you the capita of Tirana, the port city of Durrës, the south riviera, the historic town of Berat, and thermal spa near Tepelene town.

If you are fond of hinking in the mountains consider traveling to the northern part of the country where the Albanian Alps are. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get there during our stay. The Czech volunteer project Albanian Challenge creates there a vast network of marked tourist trails which run in breathtakingly beautiful nature and villages otherwise completely separated from the world.

I have never seen such an icon anywhere.

From a trip to the mountains, I return to the concrete jungle of Tirana. The next day I plan a trip to Lake Komani. We drive towards the town of Shkoder, but in front of it we turn along the "yellow" road to the village of Komani. Then we go through the tunnel and get on a super small boat. I feel like I'm in another world. The mountains all around remind me of Norway, but the heat and water remind me of Thailand. Not beautiful.

Whatever you've heard about Albany, it won't stop luring and repelling, enticing and discouraging you. Nevertheless, I gave her a chance and went to form her own opinion of this contradictory country. Full of enthusiasm and expectations, I took a trip from Tirana to the nearest Quafstama National Park by jeep.

Albania, The Land of A Two-Headed Eagle IV

We say goodbye to Albania today. Let's start again with a history that is inextricably linked with local monuments. Among the most important politicians after the founding of the Republic of Albania in 1912 was the Muslim Zog. He became Albanian president in 1924 and declared himself king four years later. He realized that Albania was too small a country to prosper on his own, so he established a relationship with Italy.
