This time: Albania!

“Hidden gem” is an overused word, but when talking about Albania both words have their true sense. Being closed off from the world for decades, ruled by despote forces, Albania opened it’s doors only a quarter of a century ago. After the fall of Communism, Albania was at once revealed to the world. Rugged mountain scapes, immensely rich of deep turquoise blue water flowing through it’s rivers, hot springs, a Mediterranean vibe, the friendliest people and last but not least the highly fascinating history and heritage; castles, ruins from the big empires to the bunkers left in the past century.

In this episode the emerald sea, pristine beaches of Albania's south coast, Saranda, Albania's great great food culture, it's communist past, canoeing at Porto Palermo, the ancient city of Butrint and some action.
