Albania is famous for its pristine beaches, dreamy cobblestone villages, and budget-friendly prices — but that’s not all. In recent years, it’s also become a popular hotspot for digital nomads!

Sounds nice, right? That’s exactly what I thought when we were looking for our next digital nomad homebase. I was already imagining chilling on a beach in Saranda, strolling between the charming white houses of Berat, and sipping some ice coffee while cranking out work for clients.
