Albania Essentials

Albania features a diverse range of historical landmarks, from the UNESCO-listed ancient ruins of Buthrotum and the Roman amphitheater in Durrës to the well-preserved Ottoman architecture of Berat and Gjirokastër castles. In the capital, Tirana, Skanderbeg Square and the Et'hem Bey Mosque showcase the city's evolution, while the Bunk'Art museums offer insights into the country's communist past. Natural highlights include the deep spring of the Blue Eye, the expansive Lake Skadar, and the turquoise waters surrounding the Islets of Ksamil.
