ALBANIA

You might have heard of Albania as a country with a strong communist dictatorship that lasted about half a century, or you might have heard of Albanian places making their way up to top destination lists year after year in prestigious magazines or websites. Either way, with the tours in Albania you can understand that it still remains one of the least discovered countries in Europe, hiding behind that Mediterranean coastline it’s jewels.
