Albania is located in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula and borders with such states as Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro. The coast of the country is washed by the waters of the Adriatic and Ionian seas. From Italy it is separated by the Otranto strait of 75 km. Most of the country's territory is occupied by mountains, divided by river valleys. Plain stretches along the sea coast.

The capital of Albania is the city of Tirana. The main population of the country is ethnic Albanians, but in spite of this there are certain differences in traditions and language related to the place of residence. In the south of the country, there are homesickness, which are engaged in agriculture and lead a measured lifestyle. There are many monuments of ancient architecture. In the north of the country there live gay men, who are distinguished by a rather belligerent character.

For a long time the country was isolated from the outside world, therefore the infrastructure is poorly developed. Rest in Albania does not differ in excessive comfort.

Thank you for your post.

How would you describe the safety in living there? Economy? Realestate? Can one get around with only speaking english? What is the main industries there?

lot of questions here. I just answer your first question...

This is probably the number one question I get asked. There are a lot of misconceptions about Albania and its safety. Albania is not full of gangsters, sex traffickers and mafia walking around on the streets. Every country in this world has its share of bad people but in Albania, I haven’t met any yet. I feel safer here than in most western European countries. The tourist crime rate here is low. Albania also has a code of Besa which is the highest ethical code and roughly translates to ‘to keep the promise’. Albanians are very loyal people and if they see tourists they feel it is their duty to keep them safe and feel welcomed. There have been multiple occasions where Albanians have helped me tremendously.

Your answer has convinced me to come and visit!
The other questions where more directed into researching moving there...

Thank you
