Europe
Albania lies in the east of Europe and can be considered a typical Balkan country. It borders the countries Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. Albania is also located on the Adriatic and Ionian Sea. The distance from north to south is 370 km and from east to west up to 170 km.
Literally Albania: "The Land of the White Mountains". About 70% of the Albanian landscape is mountainous. Especially the east is difficult to access. In the north are the Northern Albanian Alps. The highest mountain is Korab (2784 m) and is located in the Korabitgebergte on the border with Macedonia and Kosovo. The coastal area is relatively flat and fertile. The total coastline is 363 km.
Albania is politically subdivided into 12 prefectures in turn divided into 36 districts for administrative layout. The president is the head of state of Albania. He / she is elected for five years and renewable once.
The Albanian population is quite homogenous, Islam is the dominant religion and Albanian languages takes within the Indo-European language family, a separate position.
Since Albania is quite mountainous, but 20% of the land suitable for agriculture. The economy of Albania floats there mainly. More than half of the Albanian population works in agriculture and industry accounts for more than half of the gross national product (GNP) of the country. Especially the livestock play an increasingly important place in and already accounts for about 50% of the total agricultural production. Industrial Albania is seen one of the least developed countries of Europe. Tourism is barely developed while the country has much to offer. The nature is beautiful and in the cities you can find many historical monuments. Because of its location on the sea Albania has all the ingredients for a successful holiday.
History
Centuries before our era, Albania was already inhabited by the Illyrians. In the 2nd century BC. the area was conquered by the Romans.
In 1478 Albania was officially Turkish territory. In 1912 the country was newly independent again. Albania In the first years after the proclamation of independence bombarded by several neighbors with militias and military actions. Finally left the Italians in 1922 the country. In 1925 Albania became a republic. From 1928 to 1939 it was a kingdom.
Population and culture
Approximately 95% of the population is ethnically Albanian and 3% is Greek. The high percentage of Albanians is because the rough and inaccessible terrain Albania's neighbors isolated. Ethnic Albanians are divided into groups and Ghegen Tosken. These groups each speak their own Albanian dialect. In northeastern Albania mountain people Ghegen lives and Tosken live south of Shkumbin. In Kosovo and Macedonia also home to many ethnic Albanians.
Has any place in the country of origin its own folk songs, accompanying on drums, flutes and lahuta. The Albanian militant from the communist era Unfortunately almost completely disappeared from the culture. The Western pop music is more popular today than folk folk melodies.
Albania of all European countries the lowest standard of living. About 60% of the workforce is engaged in agriculture. The majority of the rest of the population is involved in a form of industry.
The language
Albanian forms a separate branch of the Indo-European languages. The Albanian population speaks Albanian (official language), Greek and Macedonian. In the north they speak the northern dialect (Gegisch) and in the south the southern dialect (Toskisch, the official dialect). The river Shkumbin is more or less the dividing line.
Transport in the country
In connection with the poor infrastructure and lighting of roads to travel after sunset discouraged outside of the larger population centers. It often unpaved and worn road network is 18,000 km long. The strong expansion of private car ownership is also very busy on the road. The quality of the roads of Albania is far below the level of other European countries. The 18,000 km of roads is only about 33% paved.
Public transport consists of municipal and international bus transport. Albania has a total of 650 km `s track that essentially connects the major cities. Local transport is mostly done even by donkey or horse.
Transport

The capital Tirana and western coastal areas can be described as generally safe. The circumstances in Albania in the field of personal safety improved, but crime and corruption remain a major problem.
Flora & Fauna
Albania has a varied flora and fauna, this is mainly due to the variety of landscapes. Grow over 3000 different plant species, 40 of which are authentic. For example, the asphodel and the Balkans dioscorea only come in Albania.
