Albania is the best place to be! the best food in Europe, lovely people, friendly! And also it is cheap and the beaches are just wonderful. I do not have words to describe how beautiful it is. Everyone who has a chance should visit it. no wonder they were the first Europeans where there were no Greeks and other nations. Definitely a place to visit! Try Dhermia. i love that place is south Albania.

Last summer, some friends and I took a roadtrip through the coastline of albania. We visited the beautiful coastcities Durrës, vlorë and saranda.. From saranda, Down South, you Can see the greek Island of corfu, and Can sail to corfu for 20minutes.. And from the coastline of durrës, you Can see italian landscape. You truely get the Best of All worlds ón the absolute hidden treasure of Europe! and everything is so cheap Down there

I used to love Albanie and have been working there for many years (1993). Once upon a time, yes the beaches were beautiful. But illegal constructions, no waste water management made beaches definitively hugly, extremely dirty and polluted. Thus, I do not spend anymore vacation on the Albanian beaches.

An emerging nation state with a richly diverse ladscape, flora and fauna, Albania today is not the image most people would have of a grey former Stalinist/Mao Tse-tung/atheist regime – and quite rightly so now with over 25 years of freedom. The people are delightful, so is the naturally grown local food (and wine!), the beaches sandy and increasingly clean, and thanks to the EU, national roads, all waste management and the infrastructure are vastly better than 2004 when I first found this gem – and immediately invested in it. I simply love it and the dear friends I have made here.

I agree, Albania is a wonderful country. I lived their from 1997-2005. The scenery is magnificent, the food wonderful, the people, outside the cities, generous to a fault. Now the infrastructure is much improved, though forget rail travel.

The beaches are wonderful, though by midday walking on the sand in bare feet can be painful. Oh, and if you get to go in the water early in the morning, watch out for the jelly fish. I used to spend a few minutes chasing them out to sea.

Albania is most definitely Europe’s hidden treasure.
