Regions of Albania

Four very different corners of one small country.

Northern Albania & the Albanian Alps

The Accursed Mountains (Bjeshkët e Nemuna) are Albania's wild north: stone villages, family guesthouses and some of the best hiking in the Balkans.

The Ionian coast from Vlorë to Ksamil: turquoise water, pebble coves and a mountain road over the Llogara Pass.

Ottoman stone towns and ancient ruins: Berat, Gjirokastër and Butrint are all UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Albania's colourful capital, with café culture, Bunk'Art museums and Mount Dajti on the doorstep, plus Krujë and Durrës nearby.

Lake Ohrid, one of Europe's oldest lakes, plus the old town of Korçë and the mountain village of Voskopojë.
