There are some incredible national parks in Albania. They’re generally very accessible and are home to some spectacular nature. Here are some of my favorite parks:

1. Mount Dajti National Park, Tirana

Dajti National Park is one of the easiest national parks to visit in Albania thanks to its location just outside the capital city of Tirana.
