Albania

The Mediterranean’s last surprise.

BeachValueRoad TripAdventureCulture

Albania is the Mediterranean before the queues: Ionian coves below the Llogara Pass with Greek-island water at half the price, UNESCO stone towns stacked up hillsides, and a welcome that still treats visitors as guests rather than throughput.

It is made for road-trippers. Tirana’s colourful, coffee-obsessed capital gives way within hours to the Riviera’s beaches, the Blue Eye spring and the mountain villages of the Accursed Alps. Go now — the secret is escaping.
