Albania is a nation of 3 million people in the Balkans region of Southeastern Europe, bordering the Adriatic Sea to the west and and Ionian Sea to the southwest, between Greece in the south and Montenegro and Kosovo to the north. Like in the 1990s from hardline communist isolation, Albania was a stranger from another time. Her cities weren t choked by car fumes, her beaches were unspoilt by mass tourism, her long-suffering people were a little dazed and confused. While things have changed a lot since then, this ancient land still offers something increasingly rare in Europe these days a glance into a culture that is all its own. Raised on a diet of separation and hardship, Albania is distinctly Albanian. This book offers information on Albania and its most notable places.
