The best Place in the World
In the heart of the Mediterranian on the Adriatic and Ionion Sea,Albania is becoming too fast one of the World's most interesting gateway. Turists will notice an inspiring mixture of civilization and cultures- making the European country truly unique.
The first recorded inhabitants in the territory of Albania were Illyrians an Indo-Europian people. The Illyrian tribes resided in the region of modern Albania named Taulantii, Parthini,etc. Thus Albanian populations inherit Illyrian tribe's legacy.
Albania is located in Balcan peninsula. It is bordering Montenegro to the northwest, Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south and southeast. It has a Coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest.
The Albanian people are the most ancient in the Balcan, as well as it's language,which is spoken only in Albania.
Some of traditions of the Albanian population is hospitality and culture.
Albania has an incredibly hospitable culture and the it's particular tradition of cortesy.

The hospitality and the cortesy are closely related to the nation, which is similar to that of the sacred guest from Homer and clasical literature, also from "The Code" a 15th-century text written by the powerful "Dukagjin Clan". As stated in the Code, the guest must be shown highest respect by being offered a seat at the head of the table.The guest is then regaled with a homemade strong drink called Raki.
Albanians are friendly and very open towards foreigners that visit their country.
Albania has a mild Mediterranean climate. Many visitors will find that it never gets cold in the lowlands. The Ionian Coast, in particular, is 8-10C (46-56F)in winter season. The country enjoys a good deal of sunny weather with average of around 300 sunny days. Throughout the evening and night in the larger cities, young people enjoy pubs, nightclub, disco-music and karaoke, the others stroll the through the boulevards, beside the Sea in the shore, and in the parks.
A variety of sport, fishing, hiking, leisure activities as bowling, billiard, skiing in snow in winter season, also there is a rich cultural life, where can find diferent theatrical,musical, movie, shows are available in Tirana, Durres, Vlora,Korca my home city, Elbasan, Gjirokastra and Saranda.
Almost all over Albania tourists can buy variety of souvenirs, the famous Albanian cognac known by name "Scanderbeg"
Albania is small country with an area of 28.748sq km (about 11000sq mil),and the most of it's territory is mountainous. There are many rivers and some of them are extensively managed to generate hydro-electricity. The shore of Albania is nearly 450km (280 mile).
Along this shore is an mountain called Llogara over 1000m (3,300 ft),which is very interesting by tourists, who can enjoy the shore at the foot of the mountain, but higher up can enjoy thick pine forest.
Also there are a number of Lakes, which are distinguished by their beautiful landscaps, an unique species of fish, among them koran and belushka, which are very expensive in market, but dilicious after cooking. Over a third of the territory of Albania is forested and very rich in flora. The forest are home to a wide range of animals such as wolves, bears, wild boars etc.
This is my homeland,the best place in the World.
