2011's tourism hotspots: what to do in Albania
Tuesday, 1 February 2011
Albania, a former Eastern-bloc country rebranding itself "a new Mediterranean love," is set to be one of the hottest destinations of 2011.
Named top of Lonely Planet's "countries to visit in 2011" last year and an "emerging destination" by the Financial Times, the country offers low prices, a good climate and a rapidly-developing infrastructure.
Visitor numbers were up 42.5 percent for the first three quarters of 2009, the most recent figures published by Albania Tourism, and although the majority of visitors still come from neighboring states such as Kosovo, Albania is putting itself on the map.
The Financial Times lauded the country's "quiet, affordable Mediterranean beaches" and rugged landscape, while Lonely Planet predicted "Albania won't be off the beaten track for much longer."
So what can this year's tourists look forward to when planning a trip to Albania?
1. Dig. Albania has a long history dating back to the Illyrian, Greek and Roman civilizations and is fast becoming an archeological hotspot again after a lull at the end of Communist rule. Don't miss learning about the history of Durres, which is built on top of the settlements of Epidamnos (or Dyrrachion).
2. Eat. Albania's food reflects its geographic position, partly Mediterranean, partly Asian. Tavë kosi, the national dish, is baked lamb and rice, served with yogurt sauce (phenomenally popular in its own right in Albania).
3. Get outdoors. Albania has a stunning landscape, offering adventure in the mountains and relaxation on the beaches. Don't miss Pogradec and Lake Ohri (on the Macedonian border), the 2.4 million-year-old lake protected by UNESCO for its biodiversity and harboring unique species covering the entire food chain.
4. Sunbathe. Both the Adriatic Coast and Ionian Coast offer beautiful, quiet beaches with warm temperatures, alongside towns with a rich cultural history.
5. Witness. Albania's capital Tirana is a relatively young city (founded 1614) and is still going through a period of intense change from the collapse of Communism over 20 years ago. Infrastructure is improving and the city is being tidied up in an attempt to make it more European - its evolution is a reflection of the country's development as a whole.

Top 10 Destinations for Independent Travelers in 2011
The start of a new year means lots of people are making lists – travelers are jotting down notes of the places they want to go, and at BootsnAll we’re publishing our 4th annual list of the 10 destinations we think independent travelers should consider visiting. It’s a perfect match, don’t you agree?
This year, as in the past two years, we solicited nominations from readers like you as well as from BootsnAll staff members, but unlike in previous years there were actually some BootsnAll articles that inspired our choices for 2011. When an article prompts us to stop reading and start searching for airfare before it’s even been published, we remember that kind of thing.
We also wanted to note that a couple of places that we featured in previous years (Iceland and British Columbia) are still hot for 2011, and yet we didn’t include them again. Why? Because we’ve turned them into their own complete travel guides – WhyGo Iceland and WhyGo Canada.
We hope you enjoy BootsnAll’s 2011 list of indie travel destinations!
10. United States National Parks
9. Qatar
8. Indonesia (Besides Bali)
7. Portugal
6. Nicaragua
5. Bosnia and Herzegovina
4. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
3. Algeria
2. Albania
1. Curaçao and Sint Maarten
2. Albania
Astute readers and list-watchers will note that the top destination on Lonely Planet’s list of places to go in 2011 is Albania – but before you think we just phoned this one in, let us remind you that an article appeared on BootsnAll in November describing the top eight reasons to visit Albania. All it took was a read-through of that article to make Albania shoot to the top of our travel wish lists.
In fact, our editor was looking up flights to Albania before she’d even hit “publish” on the article.
The author of our Albania article summed it up this way: “The mountainous country is filled with pristine rivers and sparkling mountain springs, bustling cities and charming towns, and its rocky coastline stretches hundreds of kilometers along both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, providing stunning beaches that rival those of its better-known neighbors like Greece, Italy, and Croatia.” And all of this comes at a bargain price. Albania is likely to remain extremely cheap to visitors until (and if) it becomes part of the EU, offering even shoestring travelers the opportunity to book a nice hotel room for a tiny fraction of the cost of a similar room in nearby European countries.
Albania is a country with vibrant cities, Roman ruins, gorgeous beaches, cheap food and beer, and – particuarly appealing to indie travelers for whom personal interaction is a primary reason for traveling – a population that is eager to welcome visitors and show off their country.
