Albanian Gems explores places in Albania that are often overlooked, hard to find, or simply not very popular. Through videos, destination guides and audio guides, we bring together practical information with the details that help you understand a place properly: where it is, how to get there, what to expect and what is worth knowing before you go.
Some locations are just outside well-known destinations, while others require a little more effort to reach, but each one offers a different view of Albania beyond the places most people already know.
Albanian Gems is about documenting these places and making them easier to discover.
