Albania: When is the best time to go?

The best time to travel to Albania depends on your personal preferences and what you want to see and do. Spring, from March to June, is considered an ideal time because temperatures are pleasant, generally between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the countryside is green after the winter rains. This is also the time when the wild flowers are in full bloom, making mountain walks even more beautiful.

Summer, from June to August, is the hottest season in Albania, with temperatures easily reaching 35 degrees Celsius. This is the ideal time to enjoy the beaches of the Albanian coast, which are renowned for their beauty and crystal-clear waters. However, the beaches can be crowded during the peak tourist season.
