Highlights of Albania

After six years of living in Albania alongside my Albanian wife, I’ve had the chance to experience the country far beyond the typical travel routes. We’ve explored everything from hidden beaches and mountain villages to local family-run spots, and even celebrated our wedding here, making Albania a deeply personal part of my story.

“Highlights of Albania” is a handpicked map of the places, experiences, and tips that stand out most. It’s shaped by years of living here and exploring the spots that make this country special. Think of it as everything I wish I had known when I first arrived, so you can skip the guesswork and experience the best of Albania from day one.

I’ll also be continuously updating the map with new discoveries, seasonal recommendations, and revisited favorites, so it keeps getting better over time.
