Albania : Discover
What comes to mind when you hear its name? The "land of eagles" often fascinates as much as it worries. Between the illustrious writer Ismaïl Kadaré and the infamous Communist dictator Enver Hoxha, who closed the country in on itself for thirty years, today images of beautiful beaches, picturesque mountains and sublime landscapes emerge. Long inward-looking, Albania is finally opening up and revealing itself, despite a still difficult economic situation. Yet the country has many other little-known treasures. Situated on one of the routes linking the West and the East, the country has attracted the covetousness of the various Mediterranean powers since Antiquity. It's an ancient nation, with its own language, culture and more than 2,000 years of history. With its heritage, its landscapes and its hospitality, this country will never cease to surprise you.
