‘In search of barely visited wild beaches, more and more
tourists are invading the Balkans. Croatia has been experiencing a tourist
renaissance for years, and neighboring countries such as Montenegro are also
benefiting. No wonder, then, that the view is even farther south, and there is
really a true rough diamond with Albania. The Albanian Riviera is still
considered the Cinderella among the famous sisters, but that's what makes it so
special. No large hotel complexes, hardly any tourist infrastructure and unspoiled
coastlines awaken the spirit of discovery of all those who prefer authenticity
rather than comfort.
About 200 kilometers beyond the capital Tirana, the road
leads over 1000 meters to the Mediterranean. The Albanian Riviera stretches for
about one hundred kilometers from the Llogara Pass to the archaeological sites
of the 3000-year-old Butrint in the very south just before the Greek border.
And in between are beach pearls like Gjipe (picture) or Kakome, which are best
discovered on a road trip.’
