(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 25 OCTOBER - The travel guide publisher Lonely Planet has included Albania and Slovenia in a top list of the ten best-value destinations to visit in 2019.

Albania was chosen among the "ten places made for affordable adventures" by Lonely Planet for next year, indicating that the country has to offer "some superb beaches, a unique history and none of the crowds of Montenegro to the north or Greece to the south. Albania has also an "exciting food scene", "archeological sites" and a "buzzy capital", Tirana.

Lonely Planet said that Slovenia is a "great value bet for anyone who's after the continent's highlights but is short on time or funds." The country offers the possibility to tour in "a single day you" a "Venetian-tinged seaside town, cross Alpine passes and dine by the river in the heart of Ljubljana." Among the top ten, Lonely Planet included also the "ambitious post-industrial" Polish city of Lodz. (ANSA).
