About Albania

Albania is a small country in the southwestern Balkans, bordering Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Greece, with a coastline along the Adriatic and Ionian seas. The landscape ranges from rugged northern mountains to Mediterranean coastal stretches in the south. Tirana serves as the capital and largest city. After decades of strict isolation, Albania opened up in the early 1990s and joined NATO in 2009. It has held official EU candidate status since 2014, making it a country in gradual transition that attracts visitors with its varied scenery and relatively unspoiled coastline.
