Горный хребет
The Albanian Alps
The limestone wall of the far north — locally the Accursed Mountains — shared with Montenegro and Kosovo.
Простыми словами
The north of Albania is mountains, with a short summer season. The south has the famous beaches, the two UNESCO towns and the best ancient ruins, and you can visit for more of the year.

How they differ
| The North | The South | |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape | The Albanian Alps; deep valleys and karst | Coast, olive terraces, river valleys |
| Season | Roughly mid-June to mid-October for the high routes | April to October; cities all year |
| Signature experience | Koman ferry and the Theth–Valbona pass | The Riviera and Butrint |
| Heritage | Rozafa castle, Marubi archive, Kanun tradition | Berat, Gjirokastër, Butrint, Apollonia |
| Getting around | Slow; some places boat- or foot-access only | Good roads; the SH8 is slow in August |
| Crowds | Concentrated on one trek and one ferry | Heavy on the coast in July–August |
| Base towns | Shkodër, Theth, Valbonë | Sarandë, Himarë, Gjirokastër, Berat, Vlorë |
| Food | Dairy, maize, flija, lamb | Olive oil, fish, vegetables, byrek |
Choosing between them
The north is the part of Albania that feels least like anywhere else in the Mediterranean, and it has a genuinely short season.
The south has the beaches, the ruins and the two stone cities, and it is much easier to travel in.
Two weeks lets you do both. One week does not, comfortably — the drive between Shkodër and Sarandë is the length of the country.
