Welcome to Albania
Albania is one of my favourite countries… Ever!
Albania is a backpacker’s paradise. The country offers great outdoor adventure opportunities, yummy food, history & culture, friendly people, and a lively social atmosphere – all at an extremely affordable price.
Whether you’re looking for a chill beach vacation, history based experience, or active hiking trip you’ll find what you’re looking for in Albania.
In addition to everything I just mentioned, Albania is also safe. I travelled through the country for 1.5 months as a solo female and had zero issues.
For all the above mentioned reasons, I always recommend Albania as a top travel destination.
