Woltaro
Discover Albania
Eat. Explore. Experience.
Albania sits on the Adriatic and Ionian coasts of the western Balkans, with a 450 km coastline, UNESCO-listed towns at Berat and Gjirokastër, ancient Butrint, and mountain regions in the north and east. Distances are short, so coast, cities and mountains can be combined in one trip.
