Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and safe Albania feels — often comparing it favorably to Italy or Greece.
Most dental treatments require 5-7 days in Albania. Here's how to make the most of your time between appointments.
Albania's vibrant capital is where you'll find the country's best dental clinics, including our editor's choice, Elonix Dental. But Tirana is so much more than a medical destination — it's a fascinating city that blends Ottoman history, communist-era architecture, and modern European café culture.
Just 30 minutes from Tirana, Durrës is Albania's second-largest city and main port. It offers the closest beach access from the capital, making it perfect for a quick seaside escape between dental appointments. The city also has impressive ancient ruins dating back to its founding as a Greek colony in 627 BC.
Berat is one of Albania's most beautiful and well-preserved Ottoman towns, earning UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008. The city's iconic white Ottoman houses climb the hillside, their countless windows giving Berat its famous nickname. It's an unmissable day trip from Tirana.
Known as the "City of Stone," Gjirokastra is another UNESCO gem in southern Albania. Its distinctive Ottoman-era houses with heavy stone roofs cascade down the hillside, overlooked by an impressive castle. This is the birthplace of Albania's former communist dictator and Nobel Prize-winning author Ismail Kadare.
Stretching along the Ionian Sea from Vlora to Saranda, the Albanian Riviera has been called "Europe's last secret" for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and dramatic mountain backdrops. It's significantly cheaper and less crowded than the nearby Greek islands.
The dramatic peaks of the Albanian Alps — locally known as the "Accursed Mountains" — offer some of Europe's best hiking. The Valbona-Theth trail is a bucket-list trek through stunning alpine scenery, traditional stone villages, and the famous "Blue Eye" natural springs.
Here's how to combine your dental treatment with unforgettable experiences.
