Now he adventured on a shore unknown,
Which all admire, but many dread to view
(“Child Harold’s pilgrimage”, Lord Byron)
The Balkans has always been an important attraction to Western tourists, but until early Nineties Albania was the missing piece of the puzzle. Medieval artists, writers and travellers had explored this small country during the Ottoman rule and after the proclamation of independence, until the break of World War II. Their experience produced a very interesting body of work, comprising paintings, poetry, travel and history books. The works were inspired by amazing landscapes of green meadows, virgin forests, snowy mountains and long sandy beaches, but also by the culture of the locals, an exciting mixture of the best values of Albanian, but also Ottoman, Greek and Mediterranean culture.
Located in the heart of the Western Balkans, geo-politically still considered South East Europe, bordering with Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and Greece, with its 28 thousand square km and a population of 3 million, Albania is increasingly gaining interest among foreigners who come here on holiday or vacation, as well as for business. In 2007 the number of passengers at Mother Teresa Rinas Airport (TIA) rose to 1,107,325, more than double the 2003 figure, therefore the Airport Partners announced further expansions to the terminal, previously planned for 2020!
The adventure of Albaniantrip started in mid Nineties with services including car rentals, low cost accommodation, guided tours and interpretation. Our first clients were individuals or small groups (business teams or families) from Holland, Switzerland, Italy, USA.
