Albania is a Mediterranean country with an area of 28 748 km2. Within its borders you can find different landscapes: the most western part, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, comprises hilly areas and recent and historic glacial plains in different elevations with extensive agricultural use of the Mediterranean type, while more towards the east the continental character of climate is more pronounced. The major part of the hinterland is mountainous or even alpine in character, showing among rugged parts also high-elevation plains and in small spots even perennial snow. The surface is a mix of dense forest and exposed rock outcrops on steeper slopes. Because of this diversity of geographical landscapes and their biodiversity Albania is called the “Great Natural Museum”. |
