Albania has it all, beautiful adriatic coast, the albanian alps, charming and culturally rich UNESCO cities, but going there also means traveling back in time to a period, where it was the most locked country in the world, completely detached from the world, I have never been to North Korea and I am sure those countries are not comparable at all, but diving into the history of this country gives you a hint of how it must feel to live in a country far away from the rest of the world.
