WHO ARE WE?
ALBANIAN HOLIDAYS offer tips and information regarding holidays in Albania.
Albania has been inhabited before 100,000 years. At the beginning of the third millennium BC, the Indo-European population settled in this territory. As a result of the mixture, a population incorporating the unique cultural and linguistic characterizes of the whole Balkan Peninsula (pellazgët) was created.
Based on the ancient population, the Illyrians developed through the second millennium and the first century BC. After its fall in the year 30 BC, Illyria came under the control of the Roman Empire and with the division of the Roman Empire (395 AD), Illyria became part of the Byzantine Empire.
The country has suffered continuous invasions over the last 1000 years and by the end of the 14th century Albania was, despite of the Albanian resistance led by national hero Scanderbeg, occupied by the Ottoman Empire. Albania has been under the Ottoman regime for more than 400 years, but the subsequent efforts and insurrections for independence eventually brought the independence in 1912.
