This southeastern European nation is growing increasingly popular among tourists thanks to the cheap deals on offer and stunning beauty.

Albania has remained for years the Balkan Peninsula’s best-kept secret, with many tourists snubbing this country as a holiday destination in favour of the more famous Croatia. But, in recent years, the Albanian Riviera has experienced a surge in visitors – including Britons – who have discovered its turquoise waters, sandy beaches and beautiful landscapes can be experienced at a very cheap price.

And this destination could soon welcome many more holidaymakers as it is preparing to launch its third international airport, set to serve one of the most beautiful cities on the Albanian Riviera.

This city, Vlorë, has become particularly popular among tourists thanks to its rocky coastline, beautiful beaches, outstanding food influenced by Italian cuisine and rich history.

The creation of the Vlora International Airport will surely provide yet another reason for tourists to travel to this riviera, as it will slash the travel time from the air hub to the coast.

The new airport will reportedly include, among other structures, a 1.9-mile runway as well as a 12.43 square mile terminal, an operation tower and a fire brigade building.
