Returned to Albania for the third time — keeps getting better

This was my third visit to Albania and I keep finding new reasons to return. This time I explored beyond Tirana and discovered a completely different side of the country. Llogara Pass never loses its impact no matter how many times you've seen it.

The food still makes me happy in ways I can't fully explain — qofte particularly. stunning unspoilt Riviera beaches was a new discovery this visit and now feels essential to the experience. If you haven't been yet, you're missing something.
