Adventure takes many shapes in Albania
In the north, the Alps are so wild they're nicknamed the Accursed Mountains, and the rivers are so blue it's like Mother Nature cranked up the saturation. Head south and you'll find some of the Mediterranean's prettiest (and least-known) beaches, while the capital Tirana blends centuries of history with medieval castles, Ottoman-era mosques and neo-renaissance architecture. But what really sticks with you are the people. Whether you're sharing byrek with a local family or swapping stories over raki, Albanian hospitality will make you feel right at home.
