Situated between Greece and Montenegro, Albania is an intriguing Balkan nation filled with unique history and plenty to do. Still, it remains one of the lesser-known travel destinations in Europe. Here is what you should consider doing if you decide to make Albania your next travel destination.

Tirana

The first stop on your trip to Albania has to be the capital city of Tirana. During the communist rule of Enver Hoxha from 1944 until 1985, the country was swept by paranoia, particularly after World War II. As a result, bunkers were built all over the city, truly dominating the landscape. Today, these bunkers are ingeniously filled with restaurants, lounges, bars, art studios, and tattoo parlors.

Gjirokastër

Nicknamed the city of stone, Gjirokastër is famed for its Ottoman-era architecture. The Gjirokastër Castle and Drino Valley are just some of the intriguing locations to check out in this city which feels like it came out of a fairy tale. Of course, no trip is complete without visiting the vibrant Old Bazaar.

Sarandë 

For a true beach vacation, Sarandë is the place to be. This coastal city is filled with holiday resorts, upscale restaurants, and a variety of boat tours that will enable you to soak in the beauty of the Sarandë coastline.

Alright, adventure seekers, let’s talk about a place that’s flown under the radar for far too long—Albania. This country is like a treasure chest of natural beauty, from the rugged Albanian Alps to the soothing Ionian Sea, and it’s perfect for exploring on foot. Here’s a three-day travel itinerary to make your planning easy. 

Day 1: Valbona Valley National Park

Start your journey with a scenic ferry ride across Komani Lake to reach the heart of Valbona Valley. Spend your day hiking through “The Accursed Mountains,” where rugged trails lead to panoramic views. Overnight, consider staying at a traditional Albanian guesthouse.

Day 2: Theth National Park

Next, transfer to Theth to discover traditional stone houses and the quaint Theth Church set against the dramatic mountains. Hike to the Grunas Waterfall and the mesmerizing Blue Eye of Theth, a natural pool with crystal-clear waters. The perfect place for a refreshing dip. 

Day 3: Peaks of the Balkans Trail

Lastly, on your final day, venture onto the Peaks of the Balkans Trail, which crosses through Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro. You don’t have to hike it all! Every section offers unparalleled views of the alpine landscape and a sense of untouched wilderness. Finally, return to Theth for a traditional Albanian dinner and maybe some local entertainment.
