Albania
Surprising Albania
Crossed by the main ancient routes, in particular Via Egnatia which linked Rome and Constantinople (crossed at Elbassan), Albania has housed a wide range of civilizations, and whether it is Greek, Roman, Byzantine or Ottoman, each has left its mark. Albanians are proud, respectful and honorable. These principles govern all relationships in society. If you are their host, your well-being will be their priority - but never say no to a glass of raki!
