Albania
Albania is well-known for its contributions to culture, which stretches back over two millennia. You can see artifacts and works of art created by the people who call Albania home in the country`s many museums, of which the Durrës Archaeological Museum and the National Art Gallery are two not to be missed. Albania`s beaches are very popular, ranging from the untouched and pristine to flashy and touristy. Finally, it can`t be ignored that Albania`s Communist-era history and relics set it apart even from other former Communist nations in Eastern Europe.

Tirana
Tirana, located in the center of Albania, is the country's capital and home to one-sixth of Albania's population. Tirana is Albania's most important city with regard to politics, commerce, and culture. It is located on a plain next to Mount Dajt, and due to its geographical position it is among the sunniest places in the country. Multiple points of interest are located on or around Skanderbeg Square, the largest main square not just in Albania but in the entire Balkan region.
Visit and explore the Skanderbeg Square, National Museum of History, Mount Dajt, Et'hem Bey Mosque, Pyramid of Tirana, Grand Park of Tirana, National Museum of Fine Arts, Fortress of Justinian, Resurrection Cathedral, and so much more. -
Durres
Durres is the second-largest city in Albania and one of the country's oldest cities, founded in the seventh century BCE. Located on the Adriatic Sea, it has been a trading hub for over two millennia. Once home to a large Roman settlement called Dyrrachium, archaeological sites from this settlement feature prominently throughout the city. The amphitheatre, which is the largest of its kind in the Balkans, sits in the center of town, and is currently under consideration to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Visit and explore the Amphitheatre of Durres, Durres Beach, Durres Archaeological Museum, Port of Durres, Cape of Rodon, Durres Castle, Venetian Tower, Byzantine Market, Royal Villa of Durres, Great Mosque of Durres, and so much more. -
Sarande
The unique Saranda is not only within a stone's throw of the Greek island of Corfu, but it's surrounded by some of the best attractions, beaches, and nature that Southern Albania has to offer. It's no surprise that it’s grown from a once-sleepy fishing village into a thriving city, a bustling summer vacation destination. Saranda's recorded history goes back to Ancient Epirus, a Greek state between roughly the 4th and 2nd centuries B.C. In antiquity, the town was known as Onchesmus (or Onchesmos).
Visit and explore the Pulebardha Beach, Lekuresi Castle, Mango Beach, Monastery of 40 Saints, Saranda Beach, Sanduza Beach and much more.
