Whilst geographically compact, Albania’s location at the heart of the Balkans, wedged between northern Greece and Montenegro, and just 100 kilometres from the coast of southern Italy, has blessed the country with a diverse and vibrant landscape and compelling history. The direct flight to Tirana may be just three hours but it feels as if you have travelled far beyond Europe, to a fascinating country of exceptionally warm and friendly hospitality, delicious Mediterranean cuisine and some of the most beautiful and romantic ancient sites to be found anywhere.
