German media "Petra": Visit Albania for an authentic and unforgettable

Want a Mediterranean climate, beautiful beaches, and historical monuments for your vacation? Then you don't have to go to Greece's tourist hotspots.

We advise you to take a trip to Albania – a cheaper and less crowded place – but just as enjoyable!, writes Silva Oldenburg in the German monthly magazine "Petra".

Albania is just as beautiful as Greece – but much cheaper

During the peak tourist season there are a large number of vacationers, the beaches are overcrowded and prices increase exponentially.

Wouldn't it be great to find a place just as beautiful, but less crowded with tourists and cheaper?

Very close to Greece lies a country that has become increasingly popular in recent years: Albania.

With its breathtaking coastline, pristine beaches, and hospitable people, Albania has earned a reputation as the "alternative to Greece."

Albanian Riviera as an alternative to Greece

The Albanian Riviera stretches 450 kilometers along the coasts of the Ionian and Adriatic seas.

Here you will find everything a vacationer could want: crystal clear waters, secluded bays, picturesque villages and impressive mountain landscapes.

Mainly, places like Ksamil, Dhërmi and Himara are recommended to be visited.

A real gem is also the island of Sazan, which for a long time was a restricted military zone.

Albania offers affordable prices and tranquility

At first glance, you might think that Albania is the second Greece. The similarities are obvious: Mediterranean climate, diverse landscape, rich history, and delicious cuisine.

But, if you look closer, you can see the subtle differences that make Albania special.

Albania's biggest advantage is undoubtedly the price. Compared to Greece, accommodation, food, and activities are significantly cheaper.

This means you can have a dream vacation even on a limited budget.

Another plus point is the peace and quiet. Albania is not yet overcrowded with tourists, you can enjoy the beauties of the country in peace.

This is why it's worth traveling to Albania

Of course, Albania is not a direct replacement for Greece. Every country has its own identity, traditions, and culture.

However, Albania also has an eventful history, which is reflected in its numerous historical sites and monuments.

Albanian cuisine is a combination of Mediterranean and Oriental influences and offers a variety of flavors.

So, if you are looking for an authentic and unforgettable vacation experience, you should definitely visit Albania.

Here you can discover the beauty of the Balkans without being overwhelmed by the crowds of tourists.
