"Why travel to Albania ?!?!" was probably the question Steffen, Barnie and I heard the most just before we started our trip to this unknown corner of Europe... Well...why?!? Simple... We hadn't seen it yet and according to the Lonely Planet, there were a few interesting places to see there...
Gjirokaster -one of the best preserved Ottoman cities in the world- and Berat -the city with a 1000 windows- are both UNESCO world heritage and quite nice to stroll around in...
The capatical Tirana has not that much more to offer then some stuff from the Sovet & Dictatorship history combined with good cheap food & drink...
