Due to 700, 000 bunkers constructed in Cold War era, Albania used to be the most secretive and enigmatic country in the whole Europe.
Albania today is a country undergoing rapid cultural, economic and commercial development, attracting tourists from all over the world who come to see the bunkers and hear the story about Enver Hoxha, the communist leader, launching the most bizarre military/industrial project, ordering a bunker to be built for every Albanian citizen. The bunkers may be found across beaches, mountains, city centres, and people’s backyards… today they stand as relics of an invasion that never happened.
Albania has rich cultural and historic heritage.
The country proudly boasts several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including well preserved Ottoman towns of Gjirokaster and Berat, known for medieval castles, mosques and Byzantine churches.
It is a home of the tallest and the most rugged Dinaric Alps, 400km long cost line and 14 national parks.
