The city of Pogradec was built on the southwestern shores of Lake Ohrid and is one of the most notable cities of Albania for its tradition in hosting “family tourism” and for the pleasant, fresh climate during the summer season.
You enter the region of Pogradec via the national highway where the road from Macedonia crosses Qafë Thanë. This crossroad offers picturesque views of Lake Ohrid, a true pearl nestled between Mali i Thatë (the Dry Mountain) to the east and the Mokra highland to the west. A little further down, you might stop at the Lin peninsula and in the village of the same name just 25 km outside of Pogradec. It is said that in ancient times, this was the favorite holiday destination of the Roman Emperor Justinian’s parents. In addition to the enchanting views, one can also discover the mosaics of Lin, dating back to the 7th-6th centuries B.C. This ancient artwork exhibits an amazing ensemble of zoomorphic, floral, and geometric decorations resembling those in ancient Durrës.
The road to Pogradec passes along the shore of the tectonic Lake Ohrid, the deepest lake in the Balkans (285 m). This 2-4 million year old lake is under UNESCO protection due to its unique value and is home 17 species of aquatic animals, 70% of which are native and 30% migrant. The sponge of Ohrid is found only here and in Lake Baikal. By the lakeside you will find an array of restaurants, clubs, and comfortable hotels. You must not miss a taste of the traditional fish dishes, especially the baked speckled trout (Koran in Albanian), as well as the famous pickles. You might also sample the various wines on offer, but don’t miss the traditional unique wine of Buti, or the famous Perla and Moskat raki of Pogradec.
The city of Pogradec was settled in the Neolithic period, and it later became home to the Illyrian Enkelejdë and Desaretë clans, who built the Castle of Pogradec on a hill at 870 m above sea level. The city, with its mild climate, lends itself to year-round visits. Before leaving Pogradec don’t miss Drilon and Tushemisht, just 4-5 km south of the city. The Drilon waters form a small lake, surrounded by beautiful greenery that makes the area and the nearby village of Tushemisht a unique oasis of beauty and tranquility.
.The most visited tourist spots around Lake Ohrid are Lin, Pojskë, Hudenisht and Tushemisht. Worth visiting are the Drilon water sources, located 5 km from Pogradec.
Lake Ohrid is part of the Natural and Cultural Heritage List of UNESCO.

해발 850미터의 비옥한 고원에 위치해 있는 코르처는 알바니아에서 일곱 번째로 큰 도시이다. 마을 입구에 들어서면 640개의 흰 십자가가 줄지어 서 있는 프랑스 군인 묘지가 제일 먼저 보인다. 1차 세계대전 당시 코르처 마을을 지키기 위해 목숨을 바친 프랑스 군인 640명이 잠들어 있는 곳이다. 코르처는 1912년, 그리스의 통치하에 있다가 이후 4년간 프랑스의 지배를 받기도 했다. 그래선지 코르처는 거리의 모습이 프랑스의 수도 파리를 연상시켜 알바니아의 작은 파리라고 불리기도 한다. 또 이곳엔 알바니아 최초의 학교도 있다. 이런저런 이유로 코르처는 알바니아의 경제, 문화, 교육의 도시로 발전되어 왔다. 코르처 시내 중앙에 위치한 그리스 정교회. 원래 이곳엔 세인트 조오지라는 교회가 있었는데 1968년, 공산주의자들에 의해 무참히 파괴됐다. 이후 민주 정부가 들어서면서 1992년 지금의 모습으로 재건축됐다. 목조건물이었던 교회가 비잔틴풍의 건물로 다시 태어난 것이다. 18세기, 오스만 제국 당시 지어진 건물들이 아직 남아있는 곳도 있다. 한때 경제의 한 축을 담당했던 시장은 다시 예전의 명성을 되찾기 위해 보수가 한창 진행 중이다. “18세기 건물 모습을 그대로 간직한 바자르입니다. 건물의 모양과 창문 그리고 형태까지 원형 그대로 보존되어 있는 특별한 곳입니다.”이 오래된 시장에 할아버지 한 분이 이른 아침부터 자전거를 고치러 오셨다. 언뜻 보기에도 자전거는 꽤 낡아 보였다. 하지만 할아버지는 잠시도 자전거에서 눈을 떼지 못한다. 더 자세히 보니 오래된 중국 제품이다. 무슨 사연이 있는 걸까. “이 자전거는 1960년대 중국에서 아버님이 선물 받은 자전거입니다.” “새로운 자전거를 구입하시죠?” “새로운 자전거보다 더 튼튼해서요.” 추억은 때로 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 가치를 선물한다. 할아버지에게 자전거가 바로 그런 존재일 것이다.

Located in the fertile plateau 850 meters above sea level in Korçë is the seventh largest city in Albania. The French military cemetery built up a written 640 white crosses line the entrance into the village first it appears. The primary example is where French soldiers sleep 640 people gave their lives to defend the World War Korçë town. Korçë was awarded the domination of 1912, and under the rule of grease after four years in France. Geuraeseonji Korçë by the appearance of the street is reminiscent of the French capital of Paris, sometimes called Little Paris of Albania. Also in this town it is also the first school in Albania. For one reason or another Korçë has been developed as an economic, cultural and educational city in Albania. Located in the city center Korçë Greek Orthodox Church. Originally this town was the church of St. George was brutally destroyed by the years, the communists in 1968. After I heard that a democratic government was now in the guise of reconstruction in 1992. The church was a wooden building would be reborn as a Byzantine-style building. Built in the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire at the time where there are buildings that still remain. Market was once in charge of maintenance is a pillar of the economy are being underway to restore the reputation of the past again. The Bazar cherished 18th-century building, just a look. Up windows, and shape and form of the building is a special place that is preserved intact. This came from one minute early morning bike gochireo grandfather in the old market. Bicycle even at first glance looked pretty worn out. But Grandpa, do keep an eye on your bike a moment. The old saw more Chinese products. I wonder what that story. This bike is a bicycle father received a gift from China in the 1960s. Do you buy a new bike? I was more durable than the new bike. Memories are sometimes present and the value is what can not be changed. The bikes will be just like my grandfather there.

SUMMARY
=======
Tirana ( (listen); Albanian pronunciation: [tiˈɾana]; also Gheg Albanian: Tirona) is the capital and most populous city of Albania. The city is also the capital of the surrounding county of Tirana, one of 12 constituent counties of the country. By air, it is 501 kilometres (311 miles) north of Athens, 613 kilometres (381 miles) southeast of Rome, 153 kilometres (95 miles) southwest of Skopje and 131 kilometres (81 miles) south of Podgorica.
Tirana was founded as a city in 1614, but the region that today corresponds to the city territory has been continuously inhabited since the Bronze Age. As most of Albania, the area was populated by several Illyrian tribes, but had no importance within Illyria. Indeed, it was annexed by Rome and became an integral part of the Roman Empire following the Illyrian Wars. The heritage of that period is still evident and represented by the Mosaics of Tirana. Further later in the 5th and 6th century, a Paleo Christian basilica was built around this site.
When the Roman Empire divided into east and west, its successor the Byzantine Empire took control and included the construction of the Petrelë Castle, under the reign of Justinian I. Until the 20th century, the city did not attain much significance, when the Congress of Lushnjë proclaimed it as the country's capital, after the country's declaration of independence in 1912.
Tirana is located in the center of the country surrounded by mountains and hills, with Dajt on the east and a slight valley opening on the northwest, overlooking the Adriatic Sea in the distance. Due to its location within the Tirana plain and the close proximity to the Adriatic Sea, the city is influenced by a mediterranean seasonal climate. It is among the wettest and sunniest cities in Europe, with 2,544 hours of sun per year.Being a primate city, Tirana is considered the economic and cultural hub of Albania, due to its significant location and importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education, service, research and healthcare. All of the country's largest companies, media and scientific institutions have their headquarters in the city. Tirana is also the seat of power of the Government of Albania, the residences for work of the President and Prime Minister of Albania.

SUMMARY
=======
Enver Halil Hoxha (; Albanian: [ɛnˈvɛɾ ˈhɔdʒa] (listen); 16 October 1908 – 11 April 1985) was an Albanian communist politician who served as the head of state of Albania from 1944 until his death in 1985, as the First Secretary of the Party of Labour of Albania. He was chairman of the Democratic Front of Albania and commander-in-chief of the armed forces from 1944 until his death. He served as the 22nd Prime Minister of Albania from 1944 to 1954 and at various times served as foreign minister and defence minister as well.
Born in Gjirokastër in 1908, Hoxha became a teacher in grammar school in 1936. Following Italy's invasion of Albania, he entered into the Party of Labour of Albania at its creation in 1941. Hoxha was elected First Secretary in March 1943 at the age of 34. The Yugoslav Partisans assisted the Albanians. Less than two years after the liberation of the country, the monarchy was abolished, King Zog was deposed and Hoxha rose to power as the head of state of Albania.
During his 40-year-rule, he focused on rebuilding the country, which was left in ruins after World War II, building Albania's first railway line, raising the adult literacy rate from 5% to 98%, and leading Albania towards becoming agriculturally self-sufficient. However, detractors criticize him for a series of political repressions which included the establishment and use of forced labor camps, extrajudicial killings and executions that targeted and eliminated anti-communists, a large number of which was carried out by the Sigurimi secret police.
Hoxha's government was characterized by his proclaimed firm adherence to anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism from the mid-1970s onwards. After his break with Maoism in the 1976–1978 period, numerous Maoist parties around the world declared themselves Hoxhaist. The International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle) is the best-known association of these parties today.
