Albania is a small country in Mediterranean Europe. It borders on Greece, Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro. Tirana is the capital city, Tirana's "Mother Teresa" International Airport is located just 15 minutes away from the city. It is served by numerous European flag carriers such as British Airways, Alitalia, and the low cost carrier Germanwings.

The Albanians are very hospitable, much as were their ancient forefathers, the Ilyrians. Even more so than the rest of the Balkans, elder males expect to be shown due respect on account of their age and sex.
