The Albanian Riviera is characterized by a constellation of rocky and isolated beaches, surrounded by scenic hills and vertiginous mountains covered in lush and untamed vegetation that is typical of the Mediterranean.
Charming and hospitable villages were built over the centuries between the mountains and the sea, places where visitors can find a temporary home to enjoy the splendid waters and breathtaking vistas of the Ionian Sea.
With 300 days of sun and warm temperatures even in January, the Albanian Riviera can be enjoyed almost all year round, even beyond its beaches, though they are the main attraction.
