Albania: A fusion of taste
Albania has a delicious cuisine influenced mainly from the Turkish cuisine which is understandable considering the 500 years of being under the regime of the ottoman Empire. However it also has its own ancient specialties and a Mediterranean influence which has penetrated recently from Italy. Those who like to cook do understand that the most important part of any dish are the ingredients used. Albania is blessed with fresh and almost entirely organic ingredients due to the undeveloped agriculture, not being able to afford chemical fertilizers or pesticides. This tour will take you into the exploration of the country’s culinary diversity. These are the places we will visit:
Tirana – Kruja – Shkodra – Durres – Elbasan – Pogradec – Korca – Gjirokastra – Saranda (Butrint) – Albanian Riviera – Vlora – Apollonia – Berat – Tirana. |
