Albania, a wonderful yet unknown country, is nestled in a rarely explored part of Europe. Under the tight grasp of communism for many years, Albania was isolated from the world. However, after the Cold War, it started revealing its numerous attractions to inquisitive visitors. Situated amongst some of Europe’s most significant empires, Albania is rich in landmarks from the Greek, Roman, and Ottoman periods. The area boasts a plethora of ancient Turkish architecture harmoniously coexisting with ornately adorned Orthodox churches, along with civic buildings from the Communist era and remarkable Roman ruins. The area also contains well-preserved vintage towns.
