Explore Europe's Oldest Village and Albania's most Beautiful: Lin, Pogradec, Albania

Is this the most underrated destination in the Balkans? While everyone is flocking to the Albanian Riviera and Sazan Island, southeastern Albania hides Europe’s oldest village: Lin, Pogradec. In this Albania travel vlog, we venture away from the crowded beaches to explore the stunning landscapes of Lake Ohrid—Europe’s oldest and one of its deepest lakes. Join me and Andrea from @NewLifeAlbania as we take you on a complete day trip through the historic Lin peninsula. We start by hiking around the rugged, crystal-clear coastline of Lake Ohrid before heading into the heart of this charming, untouched Albanian village. After stopping for an incredible, fresh from Lake Ohrid trout lunch (not Koran, but European Brown Trout; Koran is a Threatened Species, so I do not eat it), we make our way up the rocky landmass. At the summit, we explore history up close at the ancient Roman / Byzantine Basilica (famous for its rare mosaics) and check out the most iconic military bunker in Albania, standing guard right out at the point. We wrap up this perfect day with a refreshing swim in the pristine waters. If you are a traveler, expat, digital nomad, or immigrant looking for authentic, beautiful places to visit in Albania that have yet to be ruined by mass tourism, Lin is an absolute must-see destination. It is an unforgettable off-the-beaten-path destination Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more hidden gems, Balkan history, and Albania travel guides! 🗺️ SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL: 🐶 Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/craigzievis2074 🐶 Patreon:   / craigzievis   💡 Andrea's Channel : @NewLifeAlbania #AlbaniaTravel #HiddenGemsAlbania #VisitAlbania #LakeOhrid Acoustic Meditation 2 by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
