This time: Albania!
“Hidden gem” is an overused word, but when talking about Albania both words have their true sense. Being closed off from the world for decades, ruled by despot forces, Albania opened it’s doors only a quarter of a century ago. After the fall of Communism, Albania was at once revealed to the world. Rugged mountain scapes, immensely rich of deep turquoise blue water flowing through it’s rivers, hot springs, a Mediterranean vibe, the friendliest people and last but not least the highly fascinating history and heritage; castles, ruins from the big empires to the bunkers left in the past century.
In this episode the remote and rugged Albanian Alps, the Krüje bazaar, The Skanderbeg museum, amazing Lake Koma, Lake Shkoder, Rozafa Castle, climbing and zip lining in Kosovo

You Need to Visit Albania! Final Days at Gjirokaster, Permet Hot Springs & Blue Eye Sarande
#Albania #Permet #Gjirokaster #Gjirokastra
Our 2019 tour of Albania and the Balkans was amazing! This is the eighth episode, which follows us on the final 3 days across southern Albania's natural and historic stops. We walked through a castle at sunset, floated in hot springs with unreal surroundings, visited local religious sites, and ate more incredible food than ever (and more food than we've ever eaten in one sitting). We didn't want to leave this amazing country or its inviting people. You need to come to Albania.
