Albania is a small country located on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeastern Europe. It is sandwiched between Montenegro and Greece, across from Italy. What really caught my eye here were the sprawling coastlines and the Albanian Alps. Albania is a fairly small country but to really enjoy it and see everything it has to offer, I would suggest spending about two weeks for the entire country. We were only able to get away for 8 days so we had to choose what parts of the country were most important to us. We decided to focus on the northern part of Albania and were not disappointed!
