Enjoy ‘Xhiro’ The Official Evening Walk in Albania

Albania is known as the Republic of Albania officially. It is a popular tourist destination in Southeastern Europe with natural abundance, rich cultural heritage, unique traditional cuisine, sandy beaches and more that spans 28,748 square kilometers.

The country is bordered in the northwest by Montenegro, in the northeast by Kosovo, in the east by Macedonia, and Greece in the south and southeast with a coastline of Ionian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and the Adriatic Sea.

Albania is 70 percent mountainous and the highest point is Maja e Korabit, or Golem Korabis a tourist attraction particularly for outdoor adventures. The overall transportation system has improved in the past two decades, which includes air and road travel.

Shkodra is one of the oldest attractive European cities and Albania’s fifth largest. The city is being revived which makes it more attractive with the Rozafa Fortress offering mind-blowing scenes over the lake.

Albania has 13 islands of which only two Sazan and Kunë are larger than a square kilometer. You can enjoy ‘xhiro’ the official evening walk in Albania and the map will take you places. Visit Tirana, the heart of the country, the capital and largest city in Albania. The other cities worth visiting are Durrës, Elbasan, Gjirokastër, Korçë, Kukës, Shkodër, and Vlorë.

You may want to try its national drink – Raki is made from grapes and is unbelievably strong equivalent to three normal drinks. Raki works as a great souvenir, however, the traditional pair of shoes called Opinga make a great gift to take home.

Take the Llogara pass to drive from Tirana to Saranda and a few other places worth a visit are the Albanian Riviera, Tirana’s Skanderbeg Square, Kalaja is an old 140the century castle, and the UNESCO city- Gjirokastra. Albania is a small country but is growing to be the most sought-after location and a haven for hikers and nature lovers.

This is our second edition of Albania, and we have made improvements to the artwork. As a country, Albania is a bit of a mystery ostensibly Muslim, it is surprisingly secular. Formerly ardently communist, it is the only portion of the former Soviet Empire to vote out the communists and establish a democratic form of governance.

It is proud of its heritage, but would love to join the EU. As a country, it is pulling itself up by its own bootstraps, so to speak, improving infrastructure as it can afford to do so, without relying on loans or foreign aid. We enjoyed our time in the country, which is, after all, as Mediterranean as Greece. The map also has insets of Tirana, Durres, and four other urban areas. Albania is friendly, and border formalities are minimal. It is one of Europe’s hidden treasures.
