EuroVelo 8 Mediterranean Route

Albania

The Albanian coast is characterised by fresh mountain air, mixing with the warm sea breeze. The climatic diversity of the country is matched by biological diversity and its forests are home to a wide range of mammals, including wolves, bears, wild boars and chamois. While the lynx, wildcats, pine martens and polecats are rarer, they can also be spotted in the landscape. Albania has an incredibly distinct history that gives it a fascinating modern-day cultural blend. Its language is unique, and while it has long been a secular state, it has the only majority Muslim population in Europe (excepting Turkey).

We do not have an official National EuroVelo Coordination Centre or Coordinator in this country at the moment. To assist people wanting to cycle the EuroVelo routes we have collected the information displayed on this page but please be aware that ECF is not responsible for this content.
