Albania is a surprising destination in the Balkans, known for its pristine nature, historical treasures and hospitable people. Discover its rich culture, beautiful beaches on the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, and impressive mountain landscapes. The country offers countless opportunities for adventurous travellers.
Albania's roads range from modern to slightly older, but they are generally passable. Some roads in mountainous areas can be narrow and winding, so be careful.
For a trip to Albania, especially if you plan to explore mountainous areas, a car with a larger engine, such as an SUV, is recommended. This provides the power and stability needed for hilly and mountainous roads. An SUV is also handy for travelling around the country.
The best time to visit Albania is in spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October), when the weather is mild and tourist crowds are less. It is also a good idea to avoid summer because of the high temperatures and crowds.
Albania is known for its delicious dishes, such as burek (stuffed puff pastry rolls), tave kosi (yoghurt lamb), and pite (savoury pies). Also try the local wines and raki, but be sure to drink once your car tour is complete.
