I know it doesn’t look 100% like Italy, but that was the first impression that it gave me, a village on a hill with a visible church’s belltower, the terrain is also quite dry and I forgot to add in the title that it’s half-abandoned.
I mean…Albania is right next to Italy, so that shouldn’t really be that shocking.
A couple of years back I was in Ohrid, North Macedonia and one day I decided to go Albania. I spent one day in Lin and Pogradec. That part of Albania was clean, with a nice scenery and quite cheap. I think it’s worth going on holiday there.
It looks like a Mediterranean village, which it is.
Well it looks so abandoned and messy…
It does not look like an Italian village. It does not look abandoned.
It looks very cute and cozy.
Venetian influence is found from Trieste to Rhodos
That’s a wonderful place 😃. Thanks for sharing
Which is not that far from Italy
Looks similar like northernern Greece
I’d say it looks a lot like the Greek villages of Epirus.
So?
Sad seeing empty streets thinking people used to walk that street, kids used to play there, houses full of life and now emptiness.
Looks rough but super cool as well.
Pretty sure the Roman Empire, the Replic of Venice, and proximity to the Italian peninsula all had major influence on the architecture of Albania.
Looks Greek to me, which is of no wonder since it was inhabited mostly by Orthodox Greeks.
