Albania’s long coastline is washed by the Ionian and Adriatic seas and hides some wonderful beaches. Its mountain scenery is stunning: not for nothing do the Albanians know it as Shqiperia, Land of the Eagles. Here was ancient Illyria; and here too that great Roman road, the Via Egnatia, began its long march east to Constantinople.
Closed to the world for much of the twentieth century, Albania offers a unique travel experience. You will find, amidst the wild beauty of this mountainous land, a way of life long since vanished from most of Europe.
