Albania: A Multicultural Jewel of the Balkans

Albania is located in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula in Southeastern Europe, bordering the Adriatic Sea in the west, Montenegro and Kosovo in the north, Greece in the south, and Northern Macedonia in the east, with the capital city of Tirana as its political and economic center. The country has a rich history, having been ruled by the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, and a multicultural mix of cultures has left a unique architectural and folklore heritage. The language is Albanian and the majority of the inhabitants follow Islam and Christianity. The economy is based on agriculture, light industry and tourism, and in recent years has attracted more and more tourists thanks to its long coastline, pristine beaches (such as the "Azure Coast") and the ruins of ancient fortresses (such as the "City of a Thousand Windows" in Berat). Despite a period of closure, Albania is now embracing the world as a rising star in the Balkans.
