TIRANA, June 25 – Canadian media outlet “HOLR Magazine” describes Albania as one of Europe’s most exciting emerging destinations. The publication highlights a journey from the Albanian Alps to the Shala River and the Ionian Riviera.
The article says Albania remained outside mainstream European tourism for years. It adds that this situation is changing quickly. It notes a steady rise in visitor numbers. It also points to low-cost airlines connecting Tirana with major European cities.
In addition, “HOLR Magazine” writes that Albania offers a unique mix of old Ottoman towns, Ionian coastline, Byzantine ruins, mountain villages, and traditional cuisine. It says this combination defines the country’s appeal.
The report focuses on northern Albania as a key attraction. It describes Shkodra as the gateway to the Alps. It also highlights the Koman Lake canyon with its turquoise waters and steep cliffs. Meanwhile, it presents the Shala River as a standout destination known for its clear water and dramatic canyon landscape.
The publication notes that visitors reach the Shala River only by boat from Koman Lake. It adds that tour operators run daily trips during the tourist season from April to October.
In addition, “HOLR Magazine” says Albania currently offers improved infrastructure and relatively low prices. It also notes smaller tourist crowds compared with Croatia and Montenegro. However, it warns that this balance may change as tourism develops further.
Finally, the article concludes that Albania remains a destination in discovery. It says northern Albania, in particular, still preserves a sense of untouched natural beauty.
