Reiseführer Albanien

Albania is a small sunny mountainous country on the edge of the western Balkans, located between Montenegro and Greece. The country offers an astonishing variety of natural landscapes, from mountains to the Mediterranean charm of the Riviera coast, making it ideal for outdoor sports. Those interested in history and archaeology, or simply wishing to admire ancient traces in magnificent landscapes, can discover a reflection of the entire European history in Albania.

The author Meike Gutzweiler summarizes her experiences from many years of individual travel in Albania in this book. Join her on a discovery tour in Tirana, the unknown capital between the Orient and Europe. Follow her into the wild gorges of the Albanian Alps or to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old towns of Gjirokastra and Berat. Relax on the Albanian Riviera coast and enjoy the beauty of Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa. Discover medieval castles, Orthodox churches, Byzantine mosaics, and the warm hospitality of the Albanians. Therefore, an important tip from our author: plan enough time, as there is much to explore.

Each chapter of the guide begins with a double page that presents the contents along with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Color-coordinated page number boxes facilitate navigation within the book. Naturally, the guide includes tried-and-true practical tips on travel questions from A to Z. Tips for families with children and teenagers are particularly highlighted, as well as offerings in the field of sustainable tourism. A small Albanian/German language guide ensures good communication on-site.
