Albania: where eagles dare
Meta ancora non del tutto turistica, l’Albania sorprende il viaggiatore per i suoi molti castelli e siti archeologici ma anche per il suo territorio vario costituito da montagne, colline e mare, territorio che permette di visitarla in tutte le stagioni. Storicamente teatro di lotte politiche interne, non a caso oggi alcuni di questi luoghi sono stati trasformati in musei militari e gallerie d’arte. Molte delle città dell’Albania sono oggi patrimonio dell’UNESCO. Inoltre l’Albania è conosciuta anche come il Paese delle Aquile. Il popolo Albanese con la sua gentilezza, disponibilità e con la sua particolare cultura di estrazione ottomana accoglie il visitatore con gioia. Le tante curve su panorami mozzafiato saranno il culmine del nostro viaggio. Cercheremo di gustare tutto questo e molto altro, un viaggio unico che lascerà in ognuno di noi una sensazione di benessere, divertimento e serenità. Con Motoexplora potrai scoprire il piacere dei viaggi in moto in Albania.
