Our professional tour guide will pick you up at your hotel at 09:00 am in the morning. Our destination is one of the best Agro-tourism farms in the Balkans. We will begin with a tour around the farm. In addition, we will learn about the story of this farm and how it created jobs for more than 400 people in the region. The farm collects, elaborates and preserves regional bio fresh local products. We will also learn how this family business adapted some old communist buildings to serve as storage for local-made bio products. During lunch, we will enjoy the spectacular view of the hilly landscapes surrounding the farm. You will taste unique gastronomic flavours of slow food that combine grandmother’s recipe with the chef’s modern touch. While enjoying a wide variety of delicious food, we will learn about the history, culture, and food that makes the region so unique from the rest of Albania. In the late afternoon, we will be back in Tirana.

If you want to get a taste of the authentic local culture instead of visiting the standard tourist attractions in Tirana, the best thing to do is to jump into this day tour. First thing on the menu today is a delicious traditional Albanian coffee, which we will enjoy on our way to the first bazaar called Çam bazaar. We will have a chance to try Byrek, which is dough with all kinds of filling such as cheese, meat or spinach, at a small local place that only locals know how to find. The tour will continue towards the Medrese bazaar, which is a busy bazaar full of colours and people. This bazaar is the biggest one in Albania. The third big bazaar, located in the most colourful area of Tirana, is called the New Bazaar. Here we will try the traditional Qofte, small pieces of meat filled with spices, and a traditional Albanian refreshing drink called Bozë. To end this tour in the best way, we will try some Albanian Raki. As we Albanians say, there is nothing that Raki can’t fix!

Berat is one of the oldest in Albania, keeping the earliest traces of human habitation and settlement dating from 2600-1800 BC. The city of Berat was composed of two fortifications on both shores of the Osum River and is adorned with 40 Byzantine churches and some 30 mosques. Historical part of Berat features a castle, locally known as the Kalaja, most of which was built during reconstruction in the 13-th century, carried during the reign of the Epirote despot Michael Angelos Comnenus, although its origins possibly date back to the 4th century BC. *Minimum Pax - 15
