🇦🇱 Road-trip the Albanian Riviera

Did you know that Albania has some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean? Stretching across the southern coastline bordering the Ionian Sea, the Albanian Riviera is a striking contrast of high mountains and pristine pebbly beaches.
This is the route I took on my Hot Mermaid Summer Solo Backpacking trip in 2022. Albania is an adventurers dream where high mountains drastically drop to glistening turquoise pebble beaches. These beaches were some of the best I’ve seen in all of Europe! As it is still a hidden gym, Albania offers affordable options for budget travelers and is the perfect place to go before the rest of the world discovers its beauty!
I found Albanian culture to be fascinating due to its complex history including isolation and dictatorships. There is a lot to learn about this rather less traveled country. Albania should definitely not be over looked when planning your European summer vacation.

Last summer I embarked on my first solo backpacking trip through Europe and the Mediterranean coined “Hot Mermaid Summer Solo Backpacking Trip”. I was in the search of the clearest water, and sunniest Mediterranean skies. My three month trip included Calabria Italy, the Albanian Riviera, Greek islands, Austria, Slovenia, and Southern Spain. Before this trip I lived in Spain for a year teaching English! I love exploring places off the beaten path and learning about local cultures as I travel. On my page you can find travel guides for the less traveled, but most worthwhile places.
