Albania has become a major tourist destination, competing with its neighbours Greece and Croatia. With a relatively well-preserved 450 km of coastline, the country is characterized by a large number of protected nature parks and national parks. Besides its coast, Albania is home to lakes of various origins, which form one of the largest and most diverse ecosystems of its kind in the world. This is further reinforced by the hilly, mountainous landscape that makes Albania a popular destination for hikers, mountain bikers, hikers and hikers alike.
Albania's 20th century history gives it a unique place in the Balkan travel landscape. Cultural tourism offers the best prospects, given the rich cultural heritage and rich history of the country's cultural and religious heritage.
While Yugoslavia and Bulgaria built seaside resorts to attract hard-money tourists, Albania's paranoid communist regime made it almost impossible for foreigners to enter the country.

The country is now closed to Northern Macedonia because of the Corona virus, but the tourist offices in Albania are trying to accommodate tourists, especially from the surrounding countries.

After several months of blockade, the people of Northern Macedonia are dismayed and desperate for a change in the situation. We welcome our neighbours who have been very generous in their support over the last few years.
Albania is located on the Adriatic coast and is home to the best beaches in Europe, and there is a good reason why a large percentage of tourists visiting Albania visit its beaches. The Albanian Riviera has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and along its entire coastline you will find some good beaches.
The crystal blue waters would compete with the sea, with its beautiful white sand and crystal clear waters, and some of the best views in the world.
Although this is why many flock to Albania, the country has so much more to offer visitors. Along the coast there are beautiful sandy beaches, but the best beaches on the Riviera are Drymades and Ksamil. These beaches are located on the Albanian Riviera and you can try one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe with its beautiful white sand and crystal clear waters.

It is true that Albania is an amazing country and you will be surprised by the country wherever you go.
