Albania
The Mediterranean the way it used to be
What it's famous for
01
The Albanian Riviera
Ksamil's white coves, Dhërmi's beach bars and water that rivals the Caribbean — at half the price of Greece next door.
02
UNESCO stone towns
Berat's thousand windows and Gjirokastër's Ottoman mansions — two of the best-preserved old towns in the Balkans.
03
Wild mountains
The Accursed Mountains hide Theth and Valbona — alpine hiking without the alpine crowds.
04
Café culture on a budget
Tirana runs on espresso and raki; dinner for two often costs less than a cocktail in Rome.
