Albania

Hey!

This time I’m taking you to the country which is considered by Poles a little bit wild and dangerous. Why? Just because we don’t know it at all.

From year to year Albania becomes more popular destination among tourists from all over the world but fortunately it’s not crowded yet! Even if this small country doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the modern and developed European countries, it’s really worth visiting!

So maybe let’s start with some curiosities 😊 The currency of Albania is called ‘lek’ what means in Polish ‘medicine’. The national alcohol is Rakija (something like fruit brandy) and the national dish is Qofte (kind of fried meat). What’s more, there are lots of bunkers and what’s has surprised me the most, there is the UFO University in Albania as well!

The capital of the country of course is Tirana, a beautiful city surrounded by mountains where the luxury meets poverty. The capital of Albania is known because of its amazing, colorful buildings which you can find in every part of this small city. Visiting this place, of course I’d like to see the mosque Etehem Bey, the rests of the walls of the old city called Castle of Tirana and just many simple streets to discover the everyday life of Albanians.

After spending one day in Tirana, I think that it would be a good idea to see at least one more city. I have chosen the one called Berat, known of its white houses situated on the hill. This place is called ‘The town of thousand windows’ because when you admire it standing far away from the hill, you can see only many, huge windows.

See you soon!
