Albania, where the sea and the mountains are sunkissed

Albania, the land of sunny days and a natural diversity to be enjoyed

Albania is a huge country the size of Ecuador's North Pole that is situated in south-eastern Europe on the western tip of the Balkan peninsula. Its area is 28,748 km2, and there are around 3 million people living there. Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Greece all border the Republic of Albania on its northern, northeastern, eastern, and southern borders, respectively. Albania has free access to both the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea on its western natural boundary. Geographically speaking, Albania is divided into regions: the western lowlands (30%), the southern mountainous region (70% of Albania's surface is mountainous), and the northern mountainous region, or the Albanian Alps. The Albanian relief is twice as high as the average in Europe at 708 meters above sea level. As the meeting point of two climates, the continental from the east and the Mediterranean from the west, Albania is very biodiverse. It has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and relatively short, mild winters. It is a part of the subtropical belt. From one province to the next, Albania's climate experiences significant shifts in temperature, precipitation, sunlight, air humidity, and other variables. Mountainous regions can experience minimum temperatures of up to -15° and coastal regions can see maximum temperatures of up to 40°. About 270-300 sunny days per year occur in Albania. Rainfall in Albania is decreasing from west to east, totaling an average of 1430 mm annually. Every day of the year, Albania welcomes visitors.
