Oh Albania! Like the other Balkan countries we had really only heard about Albania's political history and didn't hold high expectations. But I can now safely say it is one of my favourite countries and I can't speak highly enough of all the fabulous things to do in Albania.

The nature in Albania is phenomenal including mountain ranges, rivers, lakes and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world (yip, I said it!) Top that off with a couple of quirky cities, UNESCO world heritage old towns and ridiculously affordable prices and you've got the stuff dreams are made of... or just really great holiday destinations.

We (accidentally) spent four weeks here on our Balkan road trip and wanted to show you the variety of awesome things to see in Albania. So if you're wondering what to do in Albania we've got you covered!
