The Boing 737-800 plane touched the floor of Rinas Airport at 17:30, attended by Tourism and Environment Minister Blendy Klosi, who gave the first hospitality to visitors arrived from Minsk.

This is my first time here. First we go to the beach and then I want to visit the whole place. I've seen online that Albania has a picturesque nature. We're staying here for two weeks.
