Albania Holidays 2025/2026

Whether you’re looking for a sun-soaked coastal escape, a cultural city break, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Albania offers it all – with fewer crowds and unbeatable value.

Europe’s Hidden Gem

Nestled in the heart of the Balkans and bordered by the sparkling Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Albania is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets – but not for long. With a captivating blend of ancient history, untouched beaches, charming towns, and dramatic mountain landscapes, this remarkable country is quickly earning its spot on every savvy traveller’s wish list.

A Capital Full of Colour and Character

Your Albanian adventure can begin in Tirana, the vibrant and welcoming capital city. Once a closed-off mystery, Tirana has transformed into one of Europe’s most exciting up-and-coming city break destinations. Expect bold architecture, buzzing café culture, and a rich tapestry of history that stretches from Ottoman times to its more recent communist past.

Wander through Skanderbeg Square, explore the funky art installations of Blloku, or take a cable car ride up Mount Dajti for panoramic views of the city and beyond. Tirana is lively, quirky, and full of personality – the perfect introduction to the spirit of Albania.

Spectacular sights and a warm welcome

Albania is home to some of the most unspoiled beaches in the Mediterranean. Along the Albanian Riviera, you’ll find a mix of golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and hidden coves – all set against a backdrop of rugged cliffs and charming villages. 

One of the biggest draws of Albania is its exceptional value for money. Expect delicious meals of fresh seafood and local wine – travelling here feels indulgent, but without the hefty price tag. It’s a place where your travel budget stretches further, making it ideal for longer stays or spontaneous getaways.

Nature lovers are in for a treat too. Albania boasts a diverse landscape of dramatic mountain ranges, rolling hills, and serene lakes. The Accursed Mountains (yes, that’s their real name) are perfect for hiking and adventure, while Llogara National Park and Lake Skadar offer scenic beauty and outdoor activities in abundance.

Perhaps what makes Albania truly unforgettable is the warmth of its people. Albanians are famously hospitable and eager to share their traditions. Whether you’re sipping coffee in a local café or exploring a remote village, don’t be surprised if you’re welcomed like family – often with a glass of homemade raki in hand.
