About Us

It is a country of hidden beaches, mountain villages, ancient towns, family-run guesthouses, small farms, local kitchens, unexplored trails, crystal-clear waters and thousands of experiences that often remain outside the traditional travel map.

I Am Albania was created to bring all of this together. Our purpose is to build the most complete local travel marketplace for Albania — one place where travelers can discover the country, connect with trusted local operators and plan their entire journey directly from their phone. From the first idea of visiting Albania to the last day of the trip, iamalbania.com is designed to make traveling easier, more authentic and more transparent. One Albania. Thousands of experiences. One place to find them. Across Albania there are countless local businesses, guides, hosts, boat owners, drivers, farmers, tour operators and experience creators offering extraordinary services. Many of them, however, are difficult for international travelers to discover. Our mission is to change that. We want to find the people and places that make Albania special and bring them together into one accessible marketplace. A traveler should be able to open I Am Albania and find everything needed for the journey: Rent a car, motorcycle or other vehicle Book a boat, yacht or sea experience Find hotels, apartments, guesthouses, houses and villas Discover daily tours and multi-day adventures Join hiking, nature and outdoor experiences Explore Albania with local guides Find authentic restaurants and traditional cuisine Visit agritourism farms and rural destinations Book activities, attractions and entertainment Arrange transportation and other travel services Discover experiences that cannot easily be found anywhere else All from one place. We are searching for the Albania that cannot always be found on a map Some of the most memorable places in Albania are not the most famous ones. They may be a family restaurant hidden in the mountains. A small guesthouse overlooking a valley. A fisherman offering a boat trip along a coastline few tourists know. A local guide who knows a trail that does not appear in most travel guides. A farm where recipes, traditions and hospitality have been passed from one generation to another. These are the experiences we want travelers to discover. I Am Albania exists to uncover Albania's hidden gems and make them accessible to the world. Not only the places — but also the people behind them. Because we believe that the most authentic way to discover a country is through the people who call it home. Travel locally. Experience Albania authentically. Our marketplace is built around local operators. By connecting travelers directly with Albanian businesses and experience providers, we want to create a travel ecosystem where tourism generates value for local communities while visitors receive richer and more authentic experiences. Every booking can become more than a transaction. It can become a connection between a traveler and a local host, guide, family or business. And those connections are often what travelers remember most. Everything you need for Albania, in the palm of your hand Planning a trip should feel exciting — not complicated. Instead of searching across dozens of websites, social media accounts, messages and different booking platforms, our vision is to make I Am Albania the starting point for every journey through Albania. Discover a destination. See what you can do there. Find where to stay. Choose how to travel. Book an experience. Reserve a table. Rent a vehicle. Find a boat. Explore what is nearby. And continue discovering. All through one platform. Clear information. Real operators. Transparent experiences. Trust is essential when traveling. That is why transparency is one of the foundations of I Am Albania. Our goal is to help travelers understand exactly what they are booking, who is providing the service, what is included and what they are paying for. We want to build an environment where discovering Albania feels simple and reliable — without misleading offers, unnecessary complexity or hidden surprises. Our vision We want I Am Albania to become the digital gateway to Albania. A platform where someone planning their first trip can understand the country before arriving. A marketplace where visitors already in Albania can instantly discover what to do next. And a place where local operators — from established tourism companies to remarkable small businesses in remote areas — can reach travelers from around the world. Our ambition is to map not only Albania's destinations, but its experiences. To bring together the coast and the mountains. The cities and the villages. The famous landmarks and the places still waiting to be discovered. And to make all of them accessible through one simple digital experience.
