FACTS ABOUT ALBANIA

Albania Used To Be The Poorest Country In Europe 

While it may not look like it now, Albania used to be the poorest country in the region. Communism fell in 1991, and this is when the local regime also collapsed. The country was in isolation for almost five decades, which is why it did not go through much development.

Of course, it has recovered now. Although it is still one of the developing countries in the region, the tourism industry is now booming, and the infrastructure has also gotten a lot better.

The Country Has The Least Developed Riviera In The Region

Europe is known for its incredible rivieras, but Albania has the least developed ones. However, this doesn’t mean that the beaches are not spectacular. Anyone that loves going to the beaches will love the unspoiled natural beauty that the beaches have to offer here.

70% Of The Country Is Filled With Mountains

70% of Albania is occupied by mountains, offering lots of nature. The country also shares certain mountains with other countries. As you drive around here, you will cross many mountains, valleys, passes, and much more.

The Highest Point Is Maje E Korabit

One of the top Albania facts is that the highest point in the country is Maje e Korabit. The point is also known as Golem Korab. It is also the highest peak in Macedonia and sits on the border between both countries.

Raki Is The National Drink

Yes, the national drink of Albania is Raki, but you must beware. That is because the Raki you will find in Albanian villages can be three times stronger than your average drink. So, be sure to pace yourself if you decide to indulge in it. It is certainly addictive with delicious flavors, particularly homemade ones.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
