Best of Albania Explorer 8 days Tour

Tucked away in a lesser known corner of Europe lies Albania, a charming and delightful country that remains largely unfamiliar to many. For decades, Albania was a closed society, isolated under the strict rule of Communism, but with the end of the Cold War, it has begun to reveal its many hidden treasures to curious travelers. Situated between some of Europe’s most influential empires, Albania boasts a rich blend of cultural influences, with attractions spanning from the Greek, Roman, and Ottoman eras, offering a unique historical experience.

The country is home to a wealth of old Turkish architecture that stands proudly alongside elaborately decorated Orthodox churches, offering a glimpse into the diverse religious history of the region. From more recent times, the civic buildings of the Communist era provide insight into the nation’s modern history, while the impressive Roman ruins and well preserved historic towns transport visitors back to ancient times. Albania is also blessed with breathtaking scenery, featuring imposing mountains, pristine lakes, and traditional villages nestled in picturesque valleys, making it a destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers. This blend of rich heritage and stunning landscapes makes Albania a captivating and underappreciated gem in Europe.
