Autumn in Albania

Autumn in Albania brings milder weather, harvest food and quieter trails, and these articles suggest where to go and how to prepare. It is a good season for walking, birdwatching and visiting villages once the summer crowds have left the coast. Our guides include a foggy group hike in the Albanian Alps, the lagoon and pelicans of Divjaka-Karavasta, Nivica canyon and Dardha above Korçë. Velipoja and the Viluni lagoon cover the sandy north, and a seasonal packing list explains what to bring for the beach, the mountains and old towns.
