Albania Albania: Explore undiscovered European secrets

Albania Albania: Explore undiscovered European secrets Albania, this small country on the Balkan Peninsula, may be an unfamiliar but attractive place for many travelers. As a solo traveler, Albania offers the perfect balance – rich cultural history, natural beauty and genuine enthusiasm of the locals that make every little moment memorable. First of all, Albania has countless historical monuments and cultural sites worth exploring. The capital city of Tirana is a vibrant city and you can visit Skanderbeg Square to learn the story of this national hero. Nearby is Butrint National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that preserves relics from the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods that make you feel like you’ve traveled through a time tunnel. Secondly, Albania’s natural scenery is breathtaking. The Albanian Alps are a hiking enthusiast’s paradise, with magnificent mountain views, clear streams and pure air to thoroughly relax. And the southern Albanian Riviera is like a secret garden of the Mediterranean Sea, with charming sandy beaches and blue waters, making it a great place to vacation. Finally, the warm hospitality of the Albanians was the most heartwarming part of the trip. Locals smile and gesture goodwill even when the language is not clear, and Albanian dishes are a highlight, such as Byrek (traditional pastry pie) and Raki (local white wine), are worth a try. Traveling alone in Albania is not only an adventure to explore new territories in Europe, but also a journey in conversation with your own mind. Here, you can get away from the hustle and bustle and rediscover the truth of travel. #Solotravel #Albania

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
