All the best things to do in Korça
All the best things to do in Korça (Korçë), one of Albania’s most beautiful cities and unofficial capital of culture. The small city of Korca (also written as Korçë or Korça) in southeastern Albania might only be 3 hours from Tirana by car, but it feels completely off the beaten tourist track. It’s known for its role in Albanian culture and intellectual heritage (most famously for being home to the first Albanian language school), world-class museums, beautiful old churches, and pretty architecture. It gets its rather idyllic nickname, ‘The City of Serenades’, from the love ballads men used to belt out from the balconies and courtyards of their enigmatic European villas. Sadly, the sounds of guitar and mandolin don’t fill the streets of Korca like they did in the 1930s – but the town still has the same charm and a feeling of nostalgia.
