CN Traveller highlights Albania among Balkan destinations

British travel media outlet CN Traveller highlights Albania among Balkan destinations worth visiting. In an article by Christopher Beanland, the publication describes the region as a destination combining mountains, beaches, waterfalls, diverse cultures and historic cities. The article also notes that many Balkan countries remain less crowded and more affordable than destinations in Western Europe.

According to CN Traveller, the region has attracted growing interest from tourism experts. Beanland, who says he has travelled across the Balkans for around 10 years, highlights journeys through Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Albania. He also points to the European Entry/Exit System and says some travellers are considering non-Schengen Balkan countries as an alternative to border delays.

Meanwhile, the article highlights the region’s mountains, lakes, coastline and opportunities for hiking, wellness and ecotourism. It mentions the Peaks of the Balkans trail, a roughly 200-kilometre route through Albania, Kosova and Montenegro. The publication also highlights smaller tourism facilities and less developed coastal areas as alternatives to large resorts.

For Albania, CN Traveller highlights Gjipe Bay and Mirror Beach near Saranda, as well as the Zoe Hora hotel in Dhërmi. It also mentions Aragosta restaurant in Durrës and Tirana’s renovated Pyramid. According to the article, Albania is developing a more sophisticated and sustainable tourism model while attracting visitors with its coastline, nature, architecture and urban culture.
