Albania

Mediterranean charm, but also rocky and wild mountains, which form the backdrop to an incredible mix: of religions, styles, cultures, in a region with off-the-beaten-path itineraries. An uncontaminated nature that is intertwined with the remains of one of the most ruthless dictatorships in Eastern Europe; and then archaeological sites and vivid traces of Ottoman domination. A trip to Albania is also an opportunity to question ourselves about the courses of history and progress, about the definition of West and East. But it is also an encounter with a population that has the mark of history on its back and at the same time the captivating smile of those who know they can do it. Going to Albania, for us who are so close in terms of geographical location and historical connections, means understanding the silence and the clamor that have taken place on this land in our perception, and giving it back its dignity.
