TIRANA, Sep 1 -Albania is opening up to tourism and is a great budget choice for many foreigners. A trip to Albania can be easily combined with travel to Italy, Greece, Croatia and other countries.
Here’s what travel experts advise when choosing Albania as a tourist target.
Three Things You Should Know About Travel in Albania:
Albania has a long coastline along the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Few of the many small bays are yet developed for tourism, so go soon if undeveloped beaches entice you. Most travelers will not need to obtain a visa ahead of time to enter Albania and can acquire one at their point of entry by paying 10 Euros. Albania is not part of the European Union, so don’t expect EU regulations to apply.
Fun to Know About Albania:
In Albanian, the name of the nation is Shqip쳩s련grammar mistake, it should be Shqiperia).
