Synopsis
Excerpt from Balkan Home-Life
Albania, as its native name of Schyiperi - the 'Land of Rocks' - signifies, is one of the most mountainous divisions of Turkey. The principal chain runs north and south parallel with the Adriatic, and from it jut innumerable spurs which ramify in every direction. And as many of these are composed of mountains as lofty as the main range, almost the whole surface of the country is covered with rugged hills and deep valleys. The coast also is often grandly mountainous, the spurs here and there terminating in abrupt precipices whose rock-strewn bases are eternally beaten by the waves of the Adriatic.
Almost every variety of climate is found within the limits of Albania. In the south, and near the coast, the temperature is as mild as at Naples, and oranges, citrons, pomegranates, figs, and other fruits grow in abundance.
