Land of Eagles: Riding Through Europe's Forgotten Country

Robin Hanbury-Tenison

2013

"Determined to discover the Albanian that lies behind so many stereotypes and preconceptions, Robin Hanbury-Tenison and his wife Louella crossed the country on horseback, from Theth in the north to the border with Greece in the south. In the footsteps of Byron, Edward Lear and Edith Durham they crossed some of the most wild and arrestingly beautiful landscapes in Europe. Through soaring mountain ranges and hidden valleys they lived simply; staying in the homes of communities completely untouched by the 21st century and in towns bursting with artistic creativity. 'Land of Eagles' is the story of a lyrical and dramatic journey, peppered with adventure and mishap, discovery and unexpected encounters. Adorned with the history, legends and literature of Albania and with the tales of past travellers, it is a luminous portrait of this mysterious and eccentric country, which has for too long been forgotten by Europe."

Adriatic East Coast: Seeing Birds and Experiencing Nature in Historic Landscapes on the Mediterranean Coast

Martin Schneider-Jacoby and Borut Stumberger

EuroNatur Service

2012

Covers Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania.

"Summer, sun and seas of azure blue: most people think of a holiday on the beach when they hear the words East Adriatic Coast. The EuroNatur guide Adriatic East Coast shows impressively that the region has a great deal more to offer. In fact this place is a must for nature and bird lovers. Up to now the information available about the region has been scant and has been confined to the different countries that share the coast. The EuroNatur guide fills a gap here. Alongside valuable travel tips Adriatic East Coast gives detailed descriptions of the animal and plant life and of the breath-takingly beautiful landscapes of the East Adriatic Coast."

Albania

Gillian Glover

2012

"Albania's unspoilt mountain scenery, cultural sites and beaches mean it is becoming increasingly popular with a growing number of UK travellers. This affectionate guide to Albania covers the length and breadth of the country, discovering remote villages and out-of-the-way towns such as Peshkopia and Erseka. Visitors will find detailed information on wildlife, national parks, hiking routes, and beaches. For those interested in the culture and history, there is more on the main archaeological sites at Butrint and Byllis and Byzantine art, together with biographical vignettes of individuals who have figured in the country's history."
