ALBANIA 🇦🇱 | The Most Underrated Country in Europe

Before you book Greece, Italy, or Switzerland, watch this.

This cinematic travel vlog reveals Albania, a country with Mediterranean beaches as clear as the Greek islands, mountains as dramatic as the Alps, and UNESCO cities as well-preserved as anything in Italy… all for a fraction of the price.

Albania was closed to the world for nearly 50 years. That isolation preserved something rare in Europe today: authenticity, simplicity, tradition, and landscapes untouched by mass tourism.

Right now, Albania is Europe’s last secret. But that window is closing fast.
