Some say this underrated country could be “the next Croatia.” But currently, it remains very much under the radar. So now’s the time to go! Albania’s pristine coastline, charming capital, well-preserved Ottoman-era towns, and impressive Alps offer many reasons to go.
You can learn a lot about the compelling history of this once-isolated country, known during the Cold War as the “North Korea” of this continent. But don’t worry. Today, it’s a developing democracy, and enhanced infrastructure has made it easier to travel.
But did we mention it’s also one of the most low-cost European destinations? You can easily travel on a budget and find hotel rooms for roughly $25. Albanian cuisine is also delicious. A good lunch or dinner might cost you about $2 to $4.
