THE NAME "BALKAN" IS A WRONG NAME

I hear many tourists who say: I want to visit the Balkans. I want to go to the Balkans, or the Western Balkans. I understand everyone very well because in all searches you will find the name Balkan.

But who is the truth?

The name "Balkans" was decided by a stupid German Geographer. The peninsula where we live in old sources of antiquity was called the Illyrian peninsula (Albania Today). In Ptolemy's texts it gave a mountain range crossing the peninsula called the Chains of the World.

In the middle of the 18th century, a German geographer named Zeune was visiting this area. Among others, he is looking for a mountain range, which he cannot find. At the part where it goes towards Vardar there is a big mountain range and he asks a Turkish shepherd, what is the name of this area and the Turkish shepherd said: this area is called the Balkans.

Zeune, the German Geographer was convinced that this was the mountain range that crossed the peninsula that we should call the Balkans.

Balkan means honey and Blood in Turkish.

The Turkish shepherd who collected a lot of honey and killed a lot of wild animals from the mountain where he lived, jokingly gave this name to the German geographer, Bal-Kan.

I publish a status in honor of our independence day and many people insult and hate the colors of the flag and this does not surprise me at all because we have never had anything good from them. Their leaders have lied to them so much that today they believe their lies. We should live in peace, but hatred in the Balkans has made the Balkan area one of the poorest areas in the world because we do not see the future for our children but turn our heads from the old days.

"The Balkan" area includes several countries such as Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bonsia&Herezegovina, Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosova, Greece and in this group there are also Bulgaria, Romania and even Moldova but the name Balkan is wrong because all these countries are not related to the research of a stupid geographer but the real name of this area is: South-Eastern Europe.

KSAMIL BEACH, SARANDA, ALBANIA

Nestled in the southern part of the Albanian Riviera, the beaches of Ksamil are a treat for all summertime lovers.

Ksamil is a truly beautiful part of Albania. The Greek island of Corfu can be seen from just about everywhere. The people are super friendly, and the sun always seems to be shining.

The best part of all, though, is the sheer amount of beaches.

There are hidden beaches you can only hike to. Small patches of sand on the shores of islands you can swim to. Seaside cafes with sun umbrellas lined up in perfect rows. White sand beaches riddled with kayaks, paddle boats, and water taxis.

Located in the interior of southeastern Albania, just 15 kilometres from the Greek border, Leskovik is a small town embedded in one of the country’s oldest wine regions.

Its location in the Epir Mountains at the foot of Mount Melesin, an imposing limestone massif is both dramatic and picturesque.

DURRES, ALBANIA

Durrës, is the 7th century BC city in cooperation with the local Illyrian tribe, Taulanti. Also known as Dyrrachium, Durrës essentially developed as it became an integral part of the Roman Empire and its successor the Byzantine Empire. The Via Egnatia started in the city and led east across the fields, lowlands and highlands of the Balkan Peninsula to Constantinople.

In the Middle Ages, Durrës was contested between Bulgarians, Venetians, local Albanian noble families and Ottoman dominion. The Ottomans ultimately prevailed, ruling the city for more than 400 years from 1501 until 1912. Following the Albanian Declaration of Independence, the city served as the capital of the Principality of Albania for a short period of time. Subsequently, it was annexed by the Kingdom of Italy in the interwar period and was occupied by N**i Germany during World War II. Durrës experienced a strong expansion in its demography and economic activity during the Communism in Albania.

The transport connections, concentration of economic institutions and industrial tradition underlie Durrës' leading economic position in Albania. It is served by the Port of Durrës, one of the largest on the Adriatic Sea, which connects the city to other neighbouring countries. Its most considerable attraction is the Amphitheatre of Durrës that is included on the Albanian tentative list for designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once having a capacity for 20,000 people, it is the largest amphitheatre in the Balkan Peninsula.
