They all fought for control of this strategic land, all have left their mark on the coast as the heart of the country: Albania is full of archaeological treasures.
The rugged character of the area has long been the bastion of all resistance. The bravest of all, Skanderbeg, hero of the struggle against the Turks, are moored his nationalist faith. Men have learned to be self-sufficient, depending on the severity of the Kanun, the code of honor that led to so many vendettas.
Albania stands a natural border between the East and the heart of the European continent. The bear and the wolf, jackal and lynx still live there.
Albania has only 20% of arable land, gathered on the coastal plain of the Adriatic and open, while the south of the Ionian Sea. The coastline leans in several places to vast lakes. That of Shkodra, shared with Montenegro, is the largest in the Balkans. South to Saranda, the Albanian Riviera has not usurped his name, as the beaches are beautiful.
Last frontier of Europe, the country's pristine tourism development, finally attracts attention with its sunny coastline, natural and cultural richness.
