"9Travel": Explore Albania in 2025!

2025-01-05 16:11:00, Aktualitet CNA

If there is one destination that is experiencing an absolute increase in popularity and the number of visitors over the last few years, it is Albania, it is written in an article of the Australian magazine "9Travel".

The country recorded a record number of foreign visitors, 4.5 million in the first six months of 2024, an increase of 34% compared to the same period in 2023.

With stunning beaches, great food, friendly locals, a rich culture and history and relatively cheap prices, it's no wonder Albania is becoming a major tourist hotspot.

Revisa recommends several activities that can be done in Albania, starting from exploring beautiful beaches, climbing mountains, and especially in the Alps, as well as visiting historical cities.

In the article, Albania for tourists can be divided into three main areas: the coast, the mountains and the capital Tirana. For beach holidays, the beaches of Saranda, Ksamil and Himara are recommended as the best options. For a more natural atmosphere, head to the north of the country. The Albanian Alps offer a variety of hiking trails with stunning scenery.

Berat and Gjirokastra are two fascinating cities that must be visited by history buffs, as these cities are listed in the UNESCO heritage. Tirana is worth visiting at least for a few nights. Stay in the city center to enjoy the culture and nightlife and take the cable car up the mountain to enjoy amazing views of Dajti Mountain. The article recommends that April and May or September are the best months to avoid the tourist crowds and scorching heat, as July and August are the busiest summer months.

When compared to similar European destinations, such as France, Italy, and even Croatia, Albania is a very budget destination.

Accommodation won't cost you more than $50 a night even in nice central locations. A meal costs about 5-10 Dollars, and the cost would be higher only if you chose a more expensive restaurant, since in this small country there are also very luxurious and expensive restaurants or hotels. /CNA
