New York Times

In recognition of its outstanding natural beauty, Albania waslisted fourthon the New York Times’ “52 places to go in 2014”. According to the article entitled“On a rugged shore, Europe at its best”:

 

Albania sits ‘on the eastern shores of the Adriatic and has limestone-ringed beaches, ancient ruins like Butrint and waterfront inns where you can stay for less than $50 a night.  … Head to villages like Qeparo, within sight of Corfu, where you can kayak past Cold War submarine tunnels, swim by abandoned forts and watch the tide rise during a dinner of fresh fish at an inn called the Riviera. This is Europe when it was fresh and cheap’

 

‘Frommer’s Travel Guide’

TOP DESTINATIONS 2012-

‘’Unsung, undeveloped and eminently affordable, the Albanian Riviera has all the natural attractions of its Croatian counterpart further north but without the crowds and considerable expense. Here you have white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and Mediterranean villages barely changed since long before King Zog.’’
