Frequently Asked Questions
For the perfect balance of warm weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of May to June and September to October are ideal. If you are planning a beach holiday on the Riviera, July and August offer glorious heat, though this is the peak tourist season.
Albania is exceptionally safe for tourists. The local culture places a massive emphasis on protecting and welcoming guests, making it one of the most hospitable and secure destinations in Europe.
The local currency is the Albanian Lek (ALL), though Euros are widely accepted in tourist areas. While luxury hotels and high-end restaurants accept credit cards, it is highly recommended to carry some cash (Lek) for small purchases in rural areas and local markets.
The Albanian Riviera
Stretching from the Llogara Pass down to the Greek border, the Albanian Riviera is a masterpiece of nature. Here, the Ionian Sea laps against hidden coves, pebble beaches, and dramatic cliffs. Villages like Dhërmi and Himarë offer an idyllic blend of sleepy, traditional charm and burgeoning coastal luxury. It is a paradise for those who wish to sail, swim in crystal-clear waters, and dine on fresh seafood as the sun sets over the sea.
A Journey Through Time
Step away from the coast to discover Albania's deeply layered history. The UNESCO World Heritage sites of Berat, known as the 'City of a Thousand Windows', and Gjirokastër, the 'City of Stone', offer a mesmerising glimpse into the past. Staying in a lovingly restored boutique hotel within these ancient walls provides a truly immersive cultural experience, surrounded by Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and sweeping valley views.
