Albania is a country located in southeastern Europe and part of the Balkans – a geographical area between the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea. It is a small country with a population of just 2.8 million, and the country is one of the friendliest in the world.

It is also one of the safest countries to visit; even in the capital city of Tirana, there is little crime against tourists reported. English is widely spoken in Albania, and due to the friendly nature of the locals, travelling here can be done easily.

Albania is a beautiful country filled with mountainous backdrops, waterfalls, lakes, rivers and plenty of scenic landscapes itching to be discovered.

The country is home to four UNESCO World Heritage sights. The towns of Berat and Gjirokastra are two ancient cities that offer an insight into the country’s rich history, culture, and religion.

Other sites included on the list are the beautiful Ohrid Region, the Albanian part of Lake Ohrid, the Butrint Archaeological site, and the national parks Valbone Valley and Shebenik-Jabblanicë.
