Albania is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe, attracting tourists from all over the world with its natural beauty, cultural heritage and extremely affordable prices. Located in the southeastern corner of the continent, Albania offers an authentic Mediterranean experience, far from the crowds and salty prices of countries like Italy or Greece.
The Albanian Riviera, with its crystal clear waters and pristine beaches, is increasingly being compared to the French Riviera pearl, but at a much lower cost. A night in a small hotel costs around 20-30 euros, while a full seafood meal can cost just 10-15 euros.
Infrastructure improvements have been key to the growth of tourism. The new Llogara Tunnel has significantly reduced travel time from Vlora to the south, while the Vlora International Airport is significantly facilitating access for European tourists.
In addition to beaches, Albania also offers cultural and natural attractions: historic cities like Berat and Gjirokastra, the ancient ruins of Butrint, and the landscapes of the Albanian Alps are just some of the gems that make the country attractive to every type of visitor.
Tourism already contributes over 20% to the country's GDP and the authorities are committed to developing it sustainably. A clear example is the declaration of the Vjosa River as a national park – a major step in protecting the environment and promoting green tourism.
With traditional Albanian hospitality, competitive prices and unparalleled beauty, Albania is emerging from the shadows to take its rightful place on the map of the Mediterranean's most attractive destinations. For those looking for an unforgettable, authentic and affordable holiday – Albania is the answer.
