Reisinformatie: Albania

A narrow coastal plain on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas rises to forested inland mountains, which cover 70 percent of the country.

This Mediterranean culture has influences from the Greek and Roman Empires as well as the Ottomans, whose legacy has led to today’s Islamic majority. Nearly fifty years of totalitarian, communist rule came to an end in 1991 and Albania looks towards a bright future in a fresh democracy.
