Description

A short flight from Israel, in the Mediterranean basin, rests a small region of land, which has not yet been occupied by modernization, surrounded by uncompromising wildlife, welcome to Albania.

For many years Albania was enclosed by walls and fences mostly mentally and geographically which led to Albania being isolated and cut off from the world.

The walls of communist rule over the years have preserved Albanian culture as it is with nature and character unique to these nice people that only now, in recent years, has begun to be revealed to the Western world.

On this short tour, we will have a small taste of what the country has to offer while touring the town of Bratt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and getting to know the capital city, Tirana.
