The 7 Most Instagrammable Places In Albania

A small, mountainous country in the Balkan peninsula of Europe, Albania is often overlooked as a holiday destination in favour of more well-known countries.

But with vast stretches of golden beaches, UNESCO towns and a rich history, Albania is well worth the trip.

We’ve rounded up the 7 most photographic places in this pretty spot, so you can get the perfect Albania Instagram during your travels.

1. Lake Koman

Lake Koman is surrounded by vertical cliffs and mountain gorges, and boasts the clearest blue waters.

The 3-hour lake trip on the ferry is one of the best boat trips in Europe, going from the hydroelectric dam at Koman directly to the port of Fierza.
