Alice in Albania - 250 ADVENTURES

Albania is a country that, after being closed for nearly 50 years under a totalitarian communist regime, has opened up to the world like a flower in bloom. It is home to millennia of history and culture, natural wonders that will captivate and bewitch, and people who welcome you with open arms, hearts, and minds.

In 2017, journalist Alice Taylor, seeking a new direction in life after her colleague Daphne Caruana Galizia was brutally assassinated in Malta, ended up in Albania on a three-day holiday. Through a curious chain of events, she ended up staying, building a life, creating a family and developing a deep passion for her new home. She has written extensively about the country and covered it for local and international television and print media.

Told without fear or favour, they include places of cultural and historical interest, food and drink, cultural quirks, traditions, interesting people, and everything in between. It aims to be both a guide to anyone interested in Albania and a snapshot of a place experiencing significant cultural, demographic, social, and infrastructural shifts.

People have passed on, places have changed, and traditions are dying out, but they remain preserved in this book, along with photos and personal accounts. To understand Albania from the inside out needs more than 250 adventures, but this is a good place to start.
