TIRANA, April 9 – Fodor’s Travel Guide has listed Porto Palermo as the number one of Undiscovered European Destinations.
When it comes to the very best European destinations, bigger does not always mean better. While travelers typically gravitate toward larger cities like London and Paris, some of the region’s most rewarding and best-kept secrets are alternatively set well off-the-beaten path. From a tiny Albanian cliff town with stunning mountain vistas, to a Swiss mountain village known for its beer and cheese, it’s well worth the extra effort to get to any of our 15 picks for the best undiscovered European destinations, says the famous travel guide.
“Nestled among rolling green hills just south of the town of Himar롩s Porto Palermo. This Albanian village keeps a low profile, but features a towering 18th-century castle that overlooks a sparkling bay. Visitors can explore its well-preserved grounds, and take in the coastline’s picturesque scenery.”
