Albania is undoubtedly one of the least known destinations in Europe. And for good reason, the country has always been closed in on itself and has had a dictatorship for over 45 years. In recent years, the government has set itself a major challenge that is beginning to convince more and more people. It intends to open up to the world through the tourism sector by promoting the country's most attractive sites. In a way, this is the birth of Albanian tourism.
