Collection
With snow-capped mountains squeezing up against sparkling white beaches and the azure water of the Ionian, southern Albania is the most visually arresting part of the country. It’s also the least populated and therefore the least spoiled – perhaps the last pristine stretch of Europe’s Mediterranean coastline.
Nestled in the broad bay where the Adriatic meets the Ionian, the port city of Vlora is a much more attractive summer destination than its dirty northern sister Durrës.
