We asked the sweet grocery store attendant where we should go for authentic Albanian cuisine and what we should order… she nailed it! Refreshing Albanian beer. I had a local white wine, but forgot to take a picture. It was very good.
Wonderful naturally carbonated water. We love this stuff!!!
We loved these delicious grilled veggies drizzled with spicy Albanian olive oil
Traditional dishes. Fegese- Roasted tomato and eggplant with ground lamb and cottage cheese. Tave Kosi- yogurt, cream, cheese, and eggs baked with thinkly sliced lamb. We loved the Fegese, it was like lasagna without the pasta. The Tave Kosi on the other hand was a little strange. We liked it, but definitely didn’t love it.
All that for under $22!!!
The abandoned Pyramid building. It was completed just before the fall of communism and was never used.
An ottoman bridge… the river was rerouted.
Locals passing the time with a little gambling.
Beautiful hand-woven rug.
