Should I hire a car in Albania with Zest Car Rental?

In short, yes! Hiring a car in Albania offers you the freedom to explore hidden Albanian gems only accessible by car. If it’s the sea you’re after, you can choose from the Adriatic or the Ionian coastlines with views of Corfu available from the latter. Durres is one of Albania’s biggest seaside destinations thanks to incredibly cheap prices and wonderful views.

If you want to explore a UNESCO World Heritage Site, head inland to Berat. Once part of the Byzantine frontier, it became a hugely important part of the Ottoman Empire. There’s an impressive citadel and attractive churches to explore before heading towards Tomorri Mountain National Park. Here you can go skiing or search for endangered animals such as lynx, pine marten, golden eagles, and bears.

Otherwise head up into the Albanian Alps, or Accursed Mountains as they’re known, for stunning vistas and walking trails.
