"Albania is a small country located in the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. It has a rich cultural heritage and a unique language, Albanian. The country is known for its stunning landscapes, friendly people, and delicious cuisine. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Albania is relatively low compared to other European countries. It is important to research the local laws and regulations before moving to Albania, as well as the visa requirements for expats. Additionally, expats should be aware that the healthcare system in Albania is not as developed as in other European countries, so it is important to have adequate health insurance coverage.
