    • If you’re looking for the sea:<\/strong> Ksamil is the most popular, with its turquoise beaches nicknamed \u201cthe European Maldives\u201d. However, we have a special article about coastal destinations that you can read here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • What not to miss on a road trip:<\/strong> Definitely don’t miss the city of Berat with its \u201cthousand windows\u201d, historic Gjirokast\u00ebr (the stone city), Butrint National Park (UNESCO), and the Blue Eye.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For mountain lovers:<\/strong> Head to Valbona Valley and the village of Theth in the Albanian Alps, or to the dramatic Komani Lake, reminiscent of Norwegian fjords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Historical Sights:<\/strong> Visit Kruja Castle, the capital city Tirana (surprisingly pleasant), and Kalaja Castle in Kor\u00e7a (even though not much remains of it today).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/span>1) Butrint National Park<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

      Butrint National Park is one of Albania’s most significant natural and historical sites. You’ll find it in the south of the country, a short distance from the Ionian Sea coast and also near the Greek border. <\/p>\n\n

      This place is a paradise for history lovers. The ancient city of Butrint is full of ruins and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List<\/a>. You’ll find Greek, Roman, and Byzantine historical sites scattered in a picturesque setting by the lake. <\/p>\n\n

      I recommend visiting if you’re in Ksamil<\/a><\/strong> or Saranda; you can book a trip via GetYourGuide<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
