Albania is finally stepping into the spotlight as one of Europe’s most exciting and underrated travel destinations. Located between Greece, Montenegro, and Italy, it offers everything a traveler could ask for:
Nestled in the heart of southern Albania, just a 30-minute drive from Gjirokastër, lies the breathtaking Archaeological Park of Antigonea. This ancient city, built on two scenic hills overlooking the Drino Valley, is not only a treasure trove of history but also a testament to one of the greatest love stories of antiquity. Founded in the early 3rd century BC by Pyrrhus of Epirus, Antigonea was named in honor of his beloved wife, Antigone—a symbol of devotion that still resonates today.
