Albania Travel Guide

Europe is known for its high costs, but across the sea from Italy lies a small, unspoiled gem of a country with a socialist charm. Prices here are almost half of what you'd find in Italy. The cuisine is a delightful blend of Italian and Turkish flavors. You'll also get to explore UNESCO World Heritage sites. Day 1: Sightseeing in Tirana Day 2: Visit Kruja Castle → Berat ✅️ The City of a Thousand Windows Day 3: → Saranda ✅️ Ionian Sea Resort → Butrint ✅️ A coastal city with roots dating back to the Greek era → Saranda Day 4: → Gjirokastër ✅️ The Stone City → Saranda After sightseeing, you can relax on the beach and enjoy the ultimate resort experience. From Saranda, you can take a ferry to Corfu Island in about an hour. The pastel-colored old town streets are perfect for Instagram-worthy photos.

Castle of Kruja

#tripaway Rich in history and tradition, Kruja is home of the patriots and the epicenter of Albania’s independence from the Ottoman Empire. It was here that Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, Albania’s greatest national hero, defended the country from the invasion of the Ottomans. The National Museum dedicated to the hero is housed in the famous Kruja Castle and shows both the legendary hero’s history and the traditional way of life of the city’s population. The city’s famous bazaar serves as a bridge between this glorious past and the present, offering a rich array of traditional products made from local artisans. Home to one of the spiritual centers of the country, that of Sarisalltik, Kruja is a crucial destination for every local and visitor! #visitalbania#beautifulalbania #tripaway
