This new, fully revised seventh edition of Bradt's Albania remains the most authoritative standalone guide to what is still a relatively little known part of Europe. Coverage is comprehensive, starting in the capital, Tirana, then moving through central, northern and southern Albania to provide all the information needed for a successful trip. Included are knowledgeable and rigorously researched historical and archaeological background, detailed notes on popular and less well-known hiking routes and other outdoor activities, and specialist contributions on wildlife, military history and other topics.

An unparalleled wealth of practical advice for the independent traveller is also offered. Albania has something to offer almost everyone. Many come for the spectacular, unspoilt mountain scenery and the hiking and cycling opportunities.

Others are interested in the country's heritage, such as the Ottoman cities of Gjirokastra and Berati (both UNESCO World Heritage Sites), the many outstanding archaeological sites, and the Byzantine religious art in the medieval churches and in museums in Tirana, Korca and Berati. Beaches such as Dhermiu and Jala in the south are popular with young backpackers, while in high season the resorts are full of Albanian-speaking Kosovars and Macedonians. Ornithologists have long been attracted to Albania, even during the Communist period when the country was all but closed to most foreign visitors, thanks to its many different habitats and the fact it lies on several migration routes.

A guidebook to the Peaks of the Balkans Trail, a circular route through the wild and rugged borderlands of Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo. The 192km trail winds its way through the spectacular scenery of the Prokletije Mountains (the southernmost range of the Dinaric Alps), taking in high passes, sweeping valleys and striking limestone peaks. It can be completed in around two weeks: the walking itself is not difficult though the route passes through some remote areas and demands a moderate level of fitness.

The guide presents the trail in 10 daily stages and also includes suggestions for excursions to bag neighbouring peaks and visit local sites of interest. Comprehensive route description is accompanied by mapping and colour photos. Welcoming guesthouses and homestays offer accommodation and delicious local cuisine on route, though camping is also a possibility.

You will find everything you need to plan a successful trip: guidance on how to get to the route, advice on when to go, where to start your trek and what to take, and information on cross-border permits. Appendices include accommodation listings, useful contacts and an English-Albanian-Montenegrin glossary.

A magical, eye-opening account of a journey into a Europe that rarely makes the news and is in danger of being erased altogether. Another Europe. A Europe few people believe exists and many wish didn't.

Muslim Europe. Winner of a BGTW Members' Excellence Award: Travel Narrative Book of the Year - The Adele Evans Award. Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2021.

Shortlisted in the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022: Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year. Londoner Tharik Hussain sets off with his wife and young daughters around the Western Balkans, home to the largest indigenous Muslim population in Europe, and explores the regions of Eastern Europe where Islam has shaped places and people for more than half a millennium. Encountering blonde-haired, blue-eyed Muslims, visiting mystical Islamic lodges clinging to the side of mountains, and praying in mosques older than the Sistine Chapel, he paints a picture of a hidden Muslim Europe, a vibrant place with a breathtaking history, spellbinding culture and unique identity.

Minarets in The Mountains, the first English travel narrative by a Muslim writer on this subject, also explores the historical roots of European Islamophobia. Tharik and his family learn lessons about themselves and their own identity as Britons, Europeans and Muslims. Following in the footsteps of renowned Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi, they remind us that Europe is as Muslim as it is Christian, Jewish or pagan.

Dette er en bok om reiser. Faktiske reiser og mentale reiser. For unge revolusjonære fra hele Europa, inkludert Norge, var Albania fra slutten av 1960-tallet et valfartssted og et studieobjekt for revolusjonære drømmer. Dette er en bok om forfatterens egne reiser som politisk turist og kader i AKP(m-l) på 1970-tallet og nye reiser med kritisk selvrefleksjon etter kommunismens fall. Han har intervjuet tidligere politiske fanger som de politiske turistene på 1970-tallet ikke møtte. Snakket med vanlige mennesker om deres liv før, under og etter diktaturets fall i 1990.

Det er også en reise i Albanias historie som viser at autoritære trekk fra kommunismen lever videre under en demokratisk fasade i dagens Albania. Turistreiser i regi av Vennskapssambandet Norge-Albania ble arrangert over samme lest fra år til år fra slutten av 1960-tallet til begynnelsen av 1980-tallet. Reisemålet var av ml-ere karakterisert som «sosialismens fyrtårn i Europa». Mange tusen nordmenn var med på disse reisene til Albania. Det grunnleggende spørsmålet i denne boka er dette: Hvordan kunne tusenvis av norske revolusjonære støtte og beundre regimet til Enver Hoxha som var et brutalt diktatur med fengsling og henrettelser av politiske fanger?
